In-Person Breastfeeding Course

April 12, 2025

Breastfeeding is natural, but there are skills to be learned that can help promote successful breastfeeding. In this two-hour in-person class, our lactation consultant will help familiarize expectant parents with the knowledge and skills they need to get breastfeeding off to a great start.

Attendance is limited to the expectant mother and 1 additional person, therefore ONLY the expectant mother needs to register for this class. Registration will close once we have reached capacity.

Registration is required. Click the yellow "Register Now" button to the right to register for the class. Please be sure to provide your email address.

As the class date approaches, you will receive an email from the instructor with additional information about the class. Your instructor will meet you in the Tower Lobby to take you to the classroom.

Our in-person breastfeeding classes are being offered on one Saturday morning each month from 9:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m.

We look forward to you joining us!

Our April topic will be Why Everything Hurts: Understanding Joint Pain - What's Normal, What's Not, and What You Can Actually Do About It

Join Dr. Courtney Conklin for an easy-to-understand, practical discussion on one of the most common health concerns: joint pain. This session will break down why joints hurt, how to recognize when pain is a normal part of aging versus a sign of a more serious problem, and what treatments and lifestyle changes actually help. You'll learn about common conditions, like arthritis, tendinitis, and overuse injuries, and leave with clear, evidence-based strategies to keep your body moving well at any age.
