Wish I’d Said That..

When an actress takes off her clothes onscreen but a nursing mother is told to leave, what message do we send about the roles of women? In some ways we’re as committed to the old madonna-whore dichotomy as ever. And the madonna stays home, feeding the baby behind the blinds, a vestige of those days when for a lady to venture out was a flagrant act of public exposure. — Anna Quindlen

Breastfeeding Classes (private and group)

Private breastfeeding classes

  • Available for $25/hour in my office / classroom.
  • A good way to do a private class is to sign up and pay for the online class.  Watch the online portion of the class and look up any materials suggested.  Then arrange for a private class to fill in any blanks or answer any additional questions you have.
  • I can also teach a private class in your home for $30/hour
  • Please call or email to make an appointment, and we can arrange details for payment at that time.

Group prenatal classes to followup with the Online Class

  • Available at least once a month (more if the need is there)
  • Usually the 2nd Wednesday of the month at 6pm. (Check upcoming events for actual dates!)
  • Class is around 1 hour and answers any questions you might have after taking the online class.  You’ll be able to watch several videos that I can’t show online due to copyright laws, etc.  We can also practice some of the positions for nursing that I talk about in the online class.
  • Cost is $20 per couple
  • Cost is in addition to the access fee to the online version of the class.  Go ahead and sign up for that class by registering for a “Breastfeeding Class” membership and you can pay for that there and take the online class at your leisure.  For more info on the online class go to Simply Breastfeeding.
  • There is an 8 couple maximum per class, so register early! Either call me at (719) 268-1888  or sign up and pay below thru PayPal.  You don’t need an account at PayPal to pay by credit card.

Private Pumping Class

  • Did you get a pump from a friend or on the internet and don’t know how to use it?
  • Does your pump not work as well as it used to? We will go over tips to get more milk when you pump.
  • The fee for this service is $25 for up to a half-hour session and $15 for the next half-hour.
  • Plan on a half-hour session. It is best to schedule an appointment for after the baby has been fed so that pumping won’t affect the baby’s next feed.
  • Please don’t bring older children to this appointment without someone to watch them as it is hard to pump and chase a toddler at the same time. Doing so will most likely extend your appointment past 1/2 hour, causing your fee to go up.
  • We can schedule this for after store hours or on a Saturday if you are working outside the home!
  • If you want us to troubleshoot your pump, you will need to bring the pump and all it’s pieces with you.


Group Pumping Tips Class

  • This class is offered at least once a month (usually the 4th Wed of the Month, but check the calendar to verify!)
  • 6-8pm
  • Women only at this class please!
  • Fee is: $25
  • Specially designed for the mom returning to work outside the home, but useful for any mom who plans to pump a good bit.
  • I give tips on pumping hands free, how to get the most when you pump, logistics of returning to work and pumping, and more.
  • You are welcome to bring your pump since I will observe a pumping session for those who wish it.  I can also check your pump at that time to make sure it is working properly.
  • Call or sign up and pay below to register for the next class!
