For this Spinning Babies Parent Class, you'll first watch pre-recorded video in the comfort of your own home (on your own time) and then attend this group class in-person (masked and distanced) in Northborough, MA. Birth partners must be in attendance, as they will be learning how and what to do!

Different pumps and flanges are going to feel different and you may find something more comfortable that yields more milk! You'll never know until you try. And if you haven't already mastered it, come learn hand expression skills. We have flanges here to try, for a full flange fitting experience! This does NOT include an evaluation of baby's latch nor an oral assessment of baby and if you have low milk supply, schedule an Initial Consult or package of visits.

Whether you are feeding human milk or formula to your baby, sometimes there are struggles with bottlefeeding. Babies may refuse the bottle, may gag while drinking, may leak while drinking...all of these are things I can help with. I'll do an assessment of your baby's suck, suckle and oral anatomy, observe a feeding and give you strategies to help you and your baby have a more peaceful feeding without tears!
