NORWAY — The Family Birthplace at Stephens Memorial Hospital has announced an upcoming "Breastfeeding Your Newborn Class" for new and experienced mothers.
The class will be held from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Monday, Nov. 9, in the Harper Conference Center.
Shannon Nassa RN, ICBLC, will lead the class, which will cover the facts of breastfeeding and help to dispel the myths about it. The group will also learn skills for successful breastfeeding, as some infants are born knowing what to do and some need help learning; some mothers also take more naturally to breastfeeding while others require more support.
The class will help make people aware of the support services available to breastfeeding mothers.
For a schedule of future classes, more information or to register for the class, call the Family Birthplace at 743-1562, ext. 380. Preregistration and payment is required. There is a $10 fee each couple.
