POSTPONED: BFing Prep for Birth Care Providers!

  • The Yoga Tonic 132 E. First Street Salida, CO, 81201 USA (map)

Will be rescheduled at a later date. Stay tuned!

Join Certified Lactation Counselors (CLC) Dr. Ann Croghan & Megan Lombardo in this Birth Prep-Intensive designed to give birth care providers simple tools that they can easily use to support new mamas and babies during their breastfeeding experience. This class is ideal for any providers who work with birthing mothers, birth partners, and their newborns, who may not have lactation-specific training—doulas, midwives, nurses, doctors, etc. First time mommas or mommas who have birthed before will gain valuable information and techniques as a result of you—their birth care providers—having this training. Suitable for home births and hospital births alike.

Our class is unique because it lightly touches on key medical information while retaining a main focus for simple, valuable tools that families can use to help make breastfeeding easier in a supportive way. We value the information hospital-based classes offer and we recommend birth-care providers attend one at Heart of the Rockies Regional Medical Center to gain medical knowledge and perspective that you can pass on to your birthing mamas, birth partners, and their newborns.

Cost is $30 per attendee. Pay at the door with cash or check. Light snacks & refreshments provided. We like to keep our classes small, so please RSVP to TheLocalLatch@gmail.com.
