I attended a breastfeeding class tonite at Hamot Health Connection. I have to admit, it was nice but I didn't learn much. I have been reading articles and flyers about breastfeeding and trying to figure out if I wanted to do it or not.....and the class was repetitive of all that.
We watched a couple of videos about how to make the baby latch on properly and when to/how much to feed him....where to find more help if I need it later.
I did figure out how to save milk if I can manage to pump it without too much trouble. I now know I can refrigerate it, freeze it, thaw it, put it in a bottle, what kind of nipples are best to use....
It might work once I go back to work, only time will tell.

I'm glad you went to get more information. There are so many good things about breastfeeding. I am a firm believer that it's the best thing for baby....he'll get your antibodies to fight diseases for the rest of his life, you never have to heat a bottle at 3 am, you save $ on formula, and diapers don't stink as bad!! And...God really knew what he was doing when he didn't give babies teeth right away!! Chomp!
