You've prepared so much for birth, but do you have a breastfeeding plan? You don't want to be knee deep in postpartum sweat before you learn about breastfeeding.
Take the FULL SPECTRUM, HOLISITC Breastfeeding Prep course from Andrea @instinctualmothering
"I felt so much more prepared going into the hospital after taking the course. I’ve had comments from doctors/nurses who were impressed about how much I knew as a FTM" -Madeline L.
Imagine knowing you're going to be successful with breastfeeding even if you meet challenges.
Imagine you have a beautiful nursing experience you know is best for your baby (or the one you so desperately wanted the first time around….)
Here's the deal....
Despite what that internet influencer said about her tiny nipples you know most women should be able to breastfeed.
You can’t imagine feeding your kid formula when there’s the perfect food literally coming out of your boobs.
You’re sick of hearing ‘breast is best’ without actual advice on how to deal with the mental and emotional toll of breastfeeding challenges.
🙋♀️Raise you’re hand if: you’re scared out of your mind that breastfeeding is not going to work out (it seems like EVERYONE says it’s so hard).
😣You’re really freaked out about what the fourth trimester will be like. It seems like everyone really struggles and breastfeeding just makes it so much worse.
Imagine if you felt fully prepared, informed and empowered to rock your breastfeeding journey.
Picture this: feeling calm, connected and ready to face challenges postpartum because you got your sh*t together beforehand.
You could hack your mindset to get rid of guilt and shame about your feeding choices- even if you go down a different path (hint: you didn’t fail).
I'm Andrea! I'm a mom of two and breastfeeding peer counselor and lactation counselor (certified with Childbirth International) with a focus on mother-baby-led intuitive parenting. I believe parents have been led astray by the modern medical-industrial system and the multitude of opinions and information available and have dampened the ability to mother biologically and instinctually. I want to encourage mothers to take back that instinctual power in order to be less dependent on the systems that took away their authority.

FAQ
Is this course helpful if my baby is already here?
I think it will be! There are plenty of lessons that go over problems and pitfalls that may not occur until later in your journey. The mindset and educational information about breastmilk's benefits can also strengthen your determination to continue.
Why would I pay for a breastfeeding class when there’s free ones available?
Okay I'm going to be honest. I scoured the internet for digital breastfeeding courses before I made this and I didn't find anything as extensive and FULL package as this. Nothing on mindset, postpartum or also offering a community to ask questions whenever you want.
I see other courses available online for like $20-40? Why is this one so expensive?
So you get what you pay for. Investing makes you committed. I truly believe anyone who goes through my course will have everything they need to make breastfeeding work. This is a fraction of the price of a couple months' worth of formula. It's a fraction of the cost of a fancy nursery. What's more important to your baby? A bassinet that costs more than your mortgage or the magic of breastmilk?
What about if I tried breastfeeding before and it didn’t work out?
A large majority of people don't meet their goals because of a lack of correct support and information, unrealistic expectations or societal pressures. That won't be you this time though, because you'll have all the information here and you'll know exactly where to turn if you have challenges. Plus you'll have other mamas in our group cheering you on and pointing you in the right direction.
Will this help me if I had low supply last time?
There is a large chance you low supply was causes by breastfeeding mismanagement in the beginning of your journey, and you're going to avoid that this time. If you have a biological reason for low supply, I can also help you build more supply your second time and support you with combo feeding.
What if I have to supplement with formula?
I have studied how and when to supplement to best support breastfeeding in addition to moving back to exclusive breastfeeding and how to do it if your supplementing journey is temporary. That info is included in the course!
I heard breastfeeding isn’t really that much better than feeding formula. So why should I pay this much?
If you really don't think breastfeeding is that important and you don't have a goal to exclusively breastfeed this isn't the course for you!
I want to let you know there is also a 7 day money back guarantee on the course. If you get in and decide that it's not for you, I will refund you no questions asked.
*Please just don't be that person that downloads everything then asks for a refund lol
If you're still here, I know you're thinking about it... and you know that education is the key to being empowered in your breastfeeding journey. Once you know HOW breastfeeding works and WHY it gets derailed so often you can make informed choices. It feels like people who say they know better than you are there to mess up breastfeeding at every turn- nurses, doctors, pediatricians, your MIL- they make it seem like relying on your body and instincts is scary and unreliable. When you invest you will be committed. And once your committed there's no way you can 'fail', whatever that means. I want to be here with you every step of the way as the support I didn't have when I was starting my breastfeeding journey. I promise I'll be there every step of the way to ensure you get support on your journey.
