Lesson 2: Setting your feeding goals
Before we dive into anything clinical, I want to start here — because your goals matter. Exclusively breastfeeding, combo feeding, pumping only, or formula feeding: all of it is valid, and this course is built to support you no matter which path you choose.

Lesson 1: What a deep latch is and why it's your #1 goal
A deep latch is the single most important thing you can learn in this entire course. It protects your nipples from damage and it's what drives your milk supply. Everything else builds from this foundation.

Lesson 1: The golden hour: skin-to-skin, the breast crawl & first latch
That first hour after birth is pure magic — and it's also the most important window for breastfeeding. I'll explain what's happening biologically for both you and baby, and how to make the most of it even when things feel chaotic.

Lesson 2: C-sections & when birth doesn't go to plan
A C-section doesn't mean your breastfeeding journey is starting behind. It just looks a little different. I'll walk you through what to expect in the OR and recovery room, and how to protect your supply from the very first hours.
