Becoming a mom or adding to your family can be overwhelming.

Breastfeeding is beneficial for mom and baby. This course will provide you with evidence-based information to prepare you to feel educated and empowered to start your nursing journey.

Welcome! This course is for you!

This course was created to provide parents on the go that may not have time for an in-person breastfeeding class but prefer a self-paced virtual experience.

During the pandemic, there have been limited educational resources for families. We hope that our course can bridge the gap of the needs for families to reach their breastfeeding goals.

  • Establish your breastfeeding goals with our “Breastfeeding Plan”

What Someone Is Saying About This Course

Samii Fifield

"I took a prenatal breastfeeding course before the birth of my first baby. The information given helped me tremendously in preparation for breast feeding. The first few days postpartum were a lot less stressful having the knowledge needed to navigate latching and feeding. I would highly recommend YOLO Breastfeeding for any expecting mother especially if you are new to the breastfeeding game!"

Go beyond the basics and feel equipped to conquer the feeding issues that arise the first few weeks after delivery.
