You definitely can! But here’s the guarantee about our class. Many classes/ Youtube videos are not lead by a International Board Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLCs). IBCLCs have the highest credential in the lactation world. Lex, who leads the classes, has helped hundreds of families over her career, and she works with new babies every day. Meanwhile, our content covers the full spectrum of what you need to know, without the overwhelm of too much stuff. In this class, you don’t have to piece together information. It’s all in one place, with footage of real newborns–not dolls. Plus, we know it’s easy to get busy and sidetracked. That’s why we hold you accountable by checking in to encourage you to watch all the videos.

Unfortunately, many parents in our culture do struggle with breastfeeding. Most new parents today have never seen breastfeeding a newborn happen up close (under a cover doesn’t count). It’s no wonder it’s so hard, when we’re flying blind! We created this class to help you understand why parents struggle, and teach you what to do to avoid those struggles. Hearing horror stories can make you nervous. We’re here to help boost your confidence, effective immediately. You’ll feel better even after watching even the first 11 minute video.

Many parents will still need help from an IBCLC even after taking any breastfeeding class, and getting help is usually a very good idea. This class can be extremely helpful in preparing you to get the most out of your appointment with an IBCLC, so you can ask better questions and better absorb the individual support you receive. It’s like learning the basics of a language, so you’re not starting from scratch when you have an appointment. You’ll also learn signs you should make sure to seek help from an IBCLC. However, because of the breadth of content this class covers, you will learn many things in the class that you will not during an appointment with an IBCLC.

That’s great! However, here is a cautionary tale: My story is that I did take a breastfeeding class at my hospital before I was born. It did NOT help me, and I still struggled massively after my baby was born. Mighty Milk’s classes took us months of design, and these are the classes that helped me go from struggling with my first baby to thriving with my second. Even if you did learn a lot from the class at your hospital, hearing information a few times in a few ways can make all the difference. It can even make the difference between whether or not breastfeeding goes smoothly for you. No parent has ever said, “I was too prepared to breastfeed my baby.”

We totally get the temptation to wait. But here’s the thing. It is vitally important to be as prepared as possible for feeding before your baby arrives. If you don’t understand the fundamentals of milk supply or position or a number of other things, challenges can pop up very quickly–even before you leave the hospital. If you’re in pain, or your baby isn’t gaining enough weight, or you struggle with low milk supply, it can make the first days, weeks, and months of your baby’s life very stressful. And, take it from me–I’ve been there. It is better to invest a little bit of time learning about breastfeeding to try to avoid this situation as best you can.

We get it. There’s probably A LOT going on in your life as you prepare to welcome your new baby. However, there is nothing more important than making sure your new baby is fed. And that sounds much easier than it is in practice. If you struggle with feeding, coupled with your recovery from birth and the standard exhaustion of postpartum life, it can feel extremely jarring and even contribute to postpartum depression. We’ve boiled this class into the basics of what you need to know, without a bunch of extra stuff. So, make this a date night with your partner. Get some takeout or a cup of tea, get cozy on your couch, and spend an evening or two getting inspired about breastfeeding and bonding before your baby’s arrival.

We understand this fear! And here’s what we can tell you: human milk is magic. It is medicine for your baby, tailor made for them to protect them from illness and help them get better when they do get sick. It is the perfect food, designed to help them grow. It helps them develop a strong immune system, and lowers their risk of certain diseases. And nursing and pumping protects YOU too, lowering your risk of certain types of cancers. And despite all of this, scientists have just begun to unlock the secrets of human milk, recently discovering the presence of stem cells. But despite all of the incredible, innumerable benefits, feeding your baby is about more than milk. It’s also about how you *feel* about your new life with your baby. When feeding is going well, your transition to postpartum life can feel more peaceful and more rewarding. When you are caught off guard, and when you struggle, it can impact everything about how you feel about yourself, your life with your baby, and even your partner. What is growing your confidence and knowledge when it comes to feeding your baby worth to you? Only you can answer that question. If feeding your baby from your body is important to you, this class may just be a pretty great deal. It has been for many families like yours.

You’ll get the most out of the class if you watch all of the videos, so we won’t let you fall through the cracks! We’ll check in with you regularly via email to encourage you to watch all of the videos.

Absolutely. One thing that surprises people is that partner support of breastfeeding is one of the most important factors in you reaching your breastfeeding goals. Those who had partners who were negative or even ambivalent about breastfeeding were less likely to reach their breastfeeding goals. That’s why it’s so important to align and get on the same page as your partner–it’s good for you, good for your partner, and good for your baby. The two of you will learn how to set realistic expectations from your baby for things like nursing frequency and sleep–topics that can lead to friction if you enter into postpartum life with different expectations. We recommend you watch the class together, or if that’s not feasible, separately works too!

To date, we’ve had a 0% return rate. If you finish the full class and you are not satisfied, we’ll give you your money back, no questions asked, no hard time. We want you to be happy.
