I am a Lactation Consultant and the Childbirth Ed. Coordinator at my
hospital.  We have about a 95% breastfeeding rate in the hospital.  Our
primary childbirth class series includes 2 hours of "basic"
breastfeeding education.  I am offering an additional class of
2 1/2 hours and am calling it an "Advanced Breastfeeding Class." My
first class (on Wednesday) has 3 people signed up - so it is a "go."  I
am planning on including pumping - how to and pump options and milk
storage; growth spurts; common problems - yeasr, plugged ducts,
mastitis, nursing strikes; supply issues (too much, not enough);
products; pros & cons of schedules (Dr.Bucknam of Babywise is a local
pediatrician so we got lots of Babywise questions); maternal diet/fussy
baby.

Any other suggestions?  What are the most common questions you get?

I'm really excited about teaching this class and want to make sure the
word gets out that it's worthwhile.

Thanks in advance.

Andrea Tran
