When I was pregnant with my 2nd baby, I took 3 classes through The Nest (prenatal nutrition, breastfeeding basics, and childbirth prep). All three classes were very informative and were great refreshers since it had been 7 years since I had my first baby. A lot can change in 7 years, and I felt I received up to date information that helped me prepare for having a newborn again. The breastfeeding basics class was amazing. I learned so much. I feel the class played a major role in the success I had breastfeeding my baby. I would absolutely take classes there in the future.
