Pregnant women love it 

This course is a great resource no matter what knowledge level you currently have about breastfeeding.

- Expecting Mom
I feel as prepared as I can be before trying it out after our baby is here. My biggest concern is just that my baby will be getting enough from me, but you covered this well!
- Mom-to-be
 In a world of social media giving overwhelmingly different pieces of advice and opinions when it comes to breastfeeding, it's helpful to gain knowledge from a trusted source.
- First-Time Parents

Imagine bringing your new baby to your chest and knowing:
"I understand what's happening"
"I know what to look for"
"I know what to do next"

That's what we are building here. 

About the Instructor

Hi, I'm Alyssa Thooft

  • Mom
  • Lactation Consultant (IBCLC)
  • Registered Dietitian
I have spent over a decade supporting women in breastfeeding and nutrition. I’m the founder of Lactation with Alyssa, my private practice rooted in a rural Minnesota community where I live with my husband, an engineer, and our three children. I provide in-home visits locally and virtual support to mothers across the U.S. I am blessed to walk alongside mothers in some of their most vulnerable and powerful moments.
And here's what I know:
Most moms don't struggle with breastfeeding because they aren't capable. They struggle because no one showed them what to expect.
Breastfeeding is natural, but it isn't always intuitive.
I believe moms deserve clear guidance, calm reassurance, and a solid understanding of what to expect with breastfeeding. That's why I created Breastfeeding Foundations: Building a Confident Start in the First 2 Weeks. 


The breastfeeding course you have been waiting for.
100% online and self-paced. 
Perfect for learning during pregnancy & revisiting anytime after baby arrives.  

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to take this?

I recommend taking the course in the 2nd or 3rd trimester of pregnancy. If you do take it in the 1st trimester, plan to review the content again closer to your due date. Has your baby already arrived? Login and get started right away. This course is focused on getting off to a good start in the first 2 weeks. 

How long do I have access?

Forever. Seriously, pay once and have lifelong access. I want this to be available to you to look back on anytime you need to. 

Can my partner watch too?

Absolutely. My course includes content that your partner (or other support person) will find very helpful for how they can support breastfeeding.
