Integrative Lactation Care

Better Bottle Feeding is offered every 6-8 weeks as a resource to help parents feel more empowered and prepared to bottle feed their baby!

Better Bottle Feeding

This class will leave you feeling empowered to get bottle feeding off to a great start! 

You’ll learn:

• Which bottle types are ideal for babies (yes, there *is* a correct answer), and which ones to avoid
• Optimal positions for bottle feeding to facilitate healthy digestion and reduce spit-up
• Why traditional paced feeding isn’t everything it’s cracked up to be (and what to do instead) 
• The ideal timeframe to introduce bottles, and what to do if this timeline doesn’t work for you
• How to preserve your nursing relationship and your milk supply while balancing pumping/bottles & breast/chestfeeding
• The real reason why some babies struggle with bottle refusal (hint: it’s not because mom is still in the house) and how you can work WITH your baby to move through it – without tears
• Common myths about bottle feeding
• How to communicate with your care providers and help them avoid common pitfalls

This class is for you if: 

• You’re an expecting parent planning to use bottles at some point
• You’re a parent of an infant and haven’t yet introduced a bottle
• You’re having trouble introducing a bottle, and the things you’ve tried haven’t worked
• You’re getting ready to return to work
• You’re feeling any type of way about bottles or bottle feeding 🙂

Includes:

• Handouts & digital resources to reference after class
• Snacks!
• Handouts/resources to share with your care provider (grandma, nanny, daycare) to help everyone be on the same page 

Other things to note:

• Feel free to bring your baby! Babies under 1 year are welcome
• All feeding methods are welcome.
• You’ll also receive a 25% off coupon to apply to a consultation with Jill (can be used on a pump fitting/return to work consult, 1-1 bottle feeding/refusal consult, or comprehensive feeding assessment)
