When I attended the black breastfeeding coalition class it was nothing like i expected. The class and the lactation specialist really educated me on the powers of my body. I learn that breastfeeding is not only healthy for baby but mommy also. I am hoping to build up both of our immune system on my journey of breastfeeding this time around. The class alone was very knowledgeable for me specially on latching. Its very scary for a first time breastfeeding mom to take in so much information but any concerns or questions I had they were answered directly by the lactation teacher. The only worries I left with were how to get a breastfed baby on a schedule. This is my second baby ; you can imagine I had 10 bottles made up with times on it. So I am worried about that but this is a question that can only be answered by my child. Other than that I have no complaints. Great feedback, professional, and they even provide you with a bosom buddy to help you during your breastfeeding journey. Which is awesome considering its not easy and mom's definitely need all the support they can get.

Why I Decided To Breastfeed

My decision to breastfeed this time around was definitely my frustration with store bought milk. I can't tell you how many times I had to take back expired milk or examining inside every can. My first child is healthy but some of the things she had to go through really bothered me as a new mom. Rashes, colic, clotted vomit the list goes on. I'm hoping to have a different experience with my second child and really looking forward to being in control of what my child consumes.

Thank you to the Indiana Black Breastfeeding Coalition for all of your help. I really appreciate it! Keep up the good work.
