We experienced our first of three baby classes on Tuesday at Amma Maternity in Edina. 2.5 hours of breastfeeding 101 - it was definetly educational and Brian only giggled once or twice - he was a trooper :) The instructors were very knowledgeable. Lisa was my favorite - very laid back and had the mentality of it's a personal decision and do what works best for you and any amount of time is better than none etc. The other lady was on the energetic and eccentric side and nursed all 3 of her kids for over 2 years and was slightly intense. It was a good reality check as far as how much work it will be and the patience that will be needed in the first month. 8-12 times a day - pretty much a full time job. They were adament about taking advantage of the nurses and lacation consultants during the short time we have in the hospital to help get off to a good start. So we'll give it a shot and see how it goes and avoid unsolicited advise/opinions along the way.
On deck is 8 hours of "preparation for childbirth" (aka labor & delivery skills) next Saturday. Wohoo!
