Back to Work Class
Vanessa Prinz, IBCLC and full-time working mother of four, leads our monthly Virtual Back to Work class. The class is ideal for moms going back to work in four to eight weeks. The class is typically offered on the third Thursday of the month from 9:00am to 11:00am using Google Hangout and the cost is $65. Vanessa will lead participants through a step-by-step guide to returning to work. Some of the topics will include:
how much milk to store and offer per day
planning with your employer and your legal rights
pumping equipment, fit, technique and frequency, hand expression
bottle introduction and technique
breast milk management and storage
caregiver training
milk supply concerns
The maximum class size is fifteen, and many moms choose to connect with each other after the class for on-going support. Babies are welcome in the class though coming without the baby may allow you to focus more. You are welcome to breastfeed or pump during class if needed. Refunds cannot be given for missed class. If you are unable to attend, we will offer you a make up class at the next scheduled offering or will arrange for materials to be sent to you and schedule a 15 minute follow up phone consultation with Vanessa to answer questions you may have about the materials.
