Newborn Feeding Foundations Virtual Class

Many parents are taught about latching and attachment-based approaches to feeding which are important, however, when their provider recommends pumping or supplementing, they don’t know how to get back to breastfeeding.

This class teaches the Flow-First Method™, a feeding method designed by Ella Anvari, RM IBCLC. You’ll learn:

  • The fundamentals of milk supply

  • Pumping, supplementing and bottle feeding without compromising breastfeeding

  • Navigating challenges like low or oversupply

  • How to wean off of interventions and reach your goals

We want you to feel prepared to navigate most challenges and feed with confidence.
