Welcome to 2026 ✨ Is one of your intentions to invest in yourself with childbirth and lactation preparation?! If you have EDDs in February, March or April these birth class options will work well and the basic lactation class is typically taken the month before your due time. Get the evidence-based information you need to have an informed, supported birth and a basic understanding of what the early days, weeks and months of feeding your baby look like. Our pumping & milk storage class is meant to be taken once baby is here as it’s focused on pumping for being away from your baby, introducing bottles, protecting your milk supply and work related prep. All classes are taught by experienced birth doulas and our certified lactation counselor. Register on the MyBirth website under “classes & education”. Link is also in our bio. ✨

A traumatic childbirth puts breastfeeding at risk. This 2025 exploratory secondary data analysis, however, found that compared with those who breastfed, the women who did not breastfeed after birth trauma had more depression and PTSD symptoms and a weaker bond with their baby. The study concluded that for better maternal mental health after a difficult birth, mothers need targeted, trauma-informed interventions to support breastfeeding.
