Breastfeeding, Body Feeding, & Self-Attachment Classes

Learn to Breastfeed With Confidence — Before Baby Arrives

Everything the hospital classes rush through, taught by someone who has supported hundreds of LA families through it.

Most new parents are told breastfeeding will just "come naturally." For a lot of families, it doesn't — and that gap between expectation and reality hits at the worst possible moment: exhausted, three days postpartum, with a baby who won't latch and a pediatrician's appointment on the calendar.

The hospital classes only cover the basics, if you're lucky enough to catch it before baby arrives. What it doesn't cover: what a good latch actually feels like, how birth trauma can affect your milk coming in, how to fit a pump flange correctly, or what to do when nothing seems to be working.

You don't have to learn this in the middle of the night, alone, from a forum post.

Meet Melanie Wachsman, UCLA-Certified Lactation Educator

Hi, I'm Melanie — a UCLA-certified lactation educator (CLE), plus birth & postpartum doula with almost two decades supporting LA families through pregnancy, birth, and those beautiful but exhausting first few weeks as a new parent. I built this class around the questions I hear most in postpartum visits, including one most classes skip entirely: how birth trauma affects lactation, and what you can do about it.

This isn't a lecture. It's practical, hands-on, and built so you walk in with a plan — not just information.
