Breastfeeding for Couples Class

This afternoon, we went to our second class at Northside--this one was called Breastfeeding for Couples. It was about a 3-hour class, and covered things like different positions for feeding, how to help the baby latch on, and the benefits of skin to skin contact.

There wasn't much in the class that I hadn't read elsewhere (I've been doing a lot of reading), but Mick said it was really helpful to him. He learned about some of the things he can do to be helpful during breastfeeding (like being the bouncer when it's time for guests to leave!). He'll also help with burping, changing, rocking and snuggling with her, all of which I know he'll be good at :).
