In this session we’ll discuss how to balance pumping while getting through your work day, supplies that will make the transition smoother, and how to set your baby up for success with bottles or a combination of nursing and bottle feeding.

Class 9 — Baby On the Move

When it comes to our baby moving, are we helping or hindering? What are realistic mobility goals for certain ages (not just what your friend’s baby is currently doing or how quickly your nephew learned to walk)? Join this discussion to talk about how we can help our kiddos reach these milestones without skipping steps and why those steps are so important. We’ll talk about gestational age, true delays and how to work through them as well as baby devices that truly help rather than hinder natural movement.
