Back to School (Part 2)

Chris and I attended our early Sunday morning breastfeeding class at the hospital today. It was a nice surprise to see that friends of ours - Kelly and Eric - had signed up, as well. Chris was also glad to see that he was NOT the only guy there. In fact, only one woman showed up without her husband, and she ended up texting him to come within the first 10 minutes of class. The poor guy arrived - red faced any everything - soon after. The class lasted about 3 and a half hours, and included a PowerPoint presentation, movie, pumping demo, and of course, many trips to the bathroom for me ;) We learned lots of valuable information about positioning, latching, weening - and, perhaps most importantly - about the fact that the number one cause for future Chickie tears will most definitely be because his/her parents probably won't remember any of the valuable information about positioning, latching, weening, etc. Good thing mom is a thorough note taker!

All and all, I'm really glad we actually made the effort to set our alarms on a Sunday morning. We always knew we'd be clueless about breastfeeding, but now we at least know all sorts of fancy terms and facts about the things we are clueless about ... it's a really good feeling, and I highly recommend this class to all expecting parents.
