Well, I’d hoped to have it ready by January but you know how life is with toddler twins. BUT, the breastfeeding picture book is now ready. It is 12 “sides” (meaning 6 pages including the cover) and a board book ready for the determined hands of the youngest readers. It’s also, all modesty aside, gorgeous. This is mostly because of the absurdly beautiful models I wrangled (their mothers were pretty attractive too…)

You can order the book online HERE.

I wanted to do Bradley classes but there were none available when I was pregnant. I slip coupons for $50 off session fees in Erica Grossman’s Bradley classes goodie bags and am letting you all know about her classes because I wish she had been doing this when I was knocked up and even if I didn’t benefit from it there’s no reason you can’t.

We are planning another series of classes to the first week in June, for mamas who are due in August/September

The Bradley Method is a series of twelve classes, held weekly, that help prepare you and your husband/partner for labor and birth without the use of drugs and with the goal of avoiding as much medical intervention as possible. The classes include education on good nutrition during pregnancy, exercises to prepare the mother for the marathon of labor, anatomy and physiology of labor, coping techniques for labor, good coaching tips for the partner, ways to avoid drugs and interventions, breastfeeding information and postpartum care. The aim of the classes is to make the mother comfortable and trust in her body so she can tune-in to her body through labor and use natural breathing and relaxation to work through the labor without the use of drugs.

The classes are ideal for families planning home OR hospital births; first, second or beyond!

Each class runs approximately 2 to 2.5 hours. Classes are held in our home in Manchester, and we limit class size to ensure plenty of time for personal discussion.

Contact her if you are interested in attending her classes!
