Breastfeeding online class?

Question

Anyone taking a BF online class, and if so what is the structure/length? Can I learn the basics in a one-day course? Or are you just working with a lactation consultant after L&D?

Answer

I think I was just super relaxed about it with my first. My mom breastfed 7 babies so I always just “knew” I’d do it too. I didn’t take classes beyond the basic baby class showing various holds. 
A LC came to see me after I gave birth to make sure the latch was good and to show me how to make sure he got a deep latch every time. 
I never had issues, pain, mastitis, etc the whole 2 years I nursed my first son. 
Obviously that’s not a guarantee. I had a horrible labor so I’m glad I had an easy time with something. 
I’m just saying that it doesn’t have to be super nerve wracking

Answer

Jack Newman latch videos has been recommended to us by everyone and they are so good!

Answer

I watched the YouTube video of Hoag Hopsital, and I loved it. I think it was an hour! 
It is becoming clear to me that there is a lot of instinct to it for both you and baby, but it feels good to prepare beforehand and have some idea of what to do. 
But I think for any issues at the hospital, their L&D person will be my go-to at the very beginning.

Answer

A friend of mine recommended La Leche League website. I'm not sure if they have videos etc. But they have good info.

Answer

I highly recommend getting as educated as possible BEFORE you have the baby
