You can take this class at any point during your pregnancy. If you take it in your second trimester, you can log back in to brush up closer to your due date.

There’s lots of free stuff out there. But is it trustworthy, and does it cover the full spectrum of what you need to know without overwhelming you? Mighty Milk is led by Lex Beach, IBCLC. IBCLCs have the highest credential in the lactation world. Lex has helped thousands of families over her career, and she works with new babies every day. With Mighty Milk, you don’t have to piece together information or risk missing any one nugget that can make the difference between whether or not feeding goes smoothly for you and your baby. Plus, we know it’s easy to get busy and sidetracked. We’re you’re accountability partner. We’ll check in with you by email to encourage you to watch all the videos.

This class teaches lots that is not covered in hospital classes. In fact, Kate started Mighty Milk in part because her hospital class did not prepare her for success. Even if you did learn a lot from the class at your hospital, hearing information in a few ways can make all the difference. It can even make the difference between whether or not breastfeeding goes smoothly for you.  No parent has ever said, “I was too prepared to breastfeed my baby.”

Some parents will still need help from an IBCLC even after taking any breastfeeding class, and getting support if you need it is always very important! This class can be extremely helpful in preparing you to get the most out of your appointment with an IBCLC, so you can ask better questions and better absorb the support you receive. It’s like learning the basics of a language so you’re not starting from scratch when you have an appointment. You’ll also learn signs you should make sure to seek help from an IBCLC. However, because of the breadth of content this class covers, you will learn many things in the class that you will not during an appointment with an IBCLC.

We get it, and no judgment! There’s probably A LOT going on in your life as you prepare to welcome your new baby. But the reality is that after your baby is born, there is nothing more important than making sure your baby is fed. This sounds much easier than it often is in practice! If you struggle with feeding, coupled with your recovery from birth and the standard exhaustion of postpartum life, it can feel very stressful and even contribute to postpartum depression. We’ve boiled this class into the basics of what you need to know, without a bunch of extra stuff. And we’ll check in with you by email to remind you to finish the class. So, make this a date night with your partner. Get some takeout or a cup of tea, get cozy on your couch, and spend an evening or two getting inspired about breastfeeding and bonding before your baby’s arrival. It has the potential to save you untold amounts of time, money, and stress once your baby is born. 

Fair question! Here’s what we can tell you: human milk is magic. It is medicine for your baby, tailor made for them to protect them from illness and help them get better when they do get sick. It is the perfect food, designed to help them grow. It helps them develop a strong immune system, and lowers their risk of certain diseases. And nursing and pumping protects YOU too, lowering your risk of certain types of cancers. And despite all of this, scientists have just begun to unlock the secrets of human milk, recently discovering the presence of stem cells. But despite all of the incredible, innumerable benefits, feeding your baby is about more than milk. It’s also about how you *feel* about your new life with your baby. When feeding is going well, your transition to postpartum life can feel more peaceful and more rewarding. When you are caught off guard, and when you struggle, it can impact everything about how you feel about yourself, your life with your baby, and even your partner. What is growing your confidence and knowledge when it comes to feeding your baby worth to you? Only you can answer that question. If feeding your baby from your body is important to you, this class may just be a pretty great deal. And with a confidence-boost guarantee, you have nothing to lose.

YES! Studies show that partner and family participation is one of the most important factors for breastfeeding success. We’ve heard from our customers that watching the class together allows both parents to feel inspired, excited, and on the same page about breastfeeding.

We support you in making any decision that is right for you and your family, with no judgement ever. Our class is geared towards mothers who are interested in breastfeeding. However, we’ve heard from customers who were unsure if they wanted to breastfeed. They reported that this class helped them feel better prepared if they did choose to breastfeed their baby, and in some cases, it inspired them to try it. Some parents feel much more strongly about breastfeeding after giving birth, so Mighty Milk can help you feel prepared.

Absolutely! This class teaches the fundamentals of breastfeeding that apply to both singles and multiples. However, you should also reach out to an IBCLC for personalized support.

Currently subtitles are available in English, Dutch, French, and Spanish. Please note only this Expectant Parents class is translated. Our Breastfeeding Your Baby (0-12 Weeks) class is not yet translated.

We can’t guarantee that your breastfeeding experience will be smooth. Nobody can! The reality is, that you can take any breastfeeding class and still struggle. But we do guarantee you’ll finish the class feeling much more confident as you prepare to breastfeed your baby. We hope that everything will go smoothly. But even if you do struggle with feeding, Mighty Milk’s classes will empower you to be able to advocate for yourself and your baby. To date, we’ve had a nearly 0% return rate. If you finish the full class and you’re not satisfied, we’ll give you your money back, no questions asked, no hard time. We want you to be happy.
