Learning about breastfeeding before your baby is born can make a world of difference in how your feeding journey goes!

When you prepare for breastfeeding, the experience becomes yours.  Your vision for how you will feed your baby is powerful, and we'll help you to understand what you need to know to navigate the earliest hours and days - and leave the myths and misinformation about breastfeeding behind. 

Breastfeeding is a journey which begins before your baby is even born.  When you prepare in advance, you will know what to expect from your baby and your body during the first hours of breastfeeding.  We offer multiple ways to get information designed to help you all along the way:

• how to know your baby is latching and sucking well

• understanding your baby's feeding patterns

• anticipating the changes that will happen in your breasts

• how to use a breast pump if you need to

• how to manage working or attending school away from your baby while maintaining your breastfeeding and milk production goals

• and everything else along the entire spectrum of breastfeeding

   You will know how to get help with breastfeeding while you are in the hospital, after you have gone home, and the importance and value of being part of Baby Café Bakersfield.
