5 reasons Woven’s online breastfeeding class is awesome.
It’s easy to watch these short videos! Hello, you’re exhausted and barely have a brain to care for a newborn. Forget about reading walls of text. Just press play on your phone or laptop as you feed your baby or finish up the laundry.
Get real answers to your top questions! Believe me, after serving families since 2009, my videos cover it all.
Easily figure out what works for your family. With practical options, my course helps you nail down the best way to feed your baby. Hint: breast isn’t always best, this course will help families who wish to partially human milk feed, exclusively pump or feed directly at the breast or chest from day one.
Get down-to-earth, honest guidance about this entire process. We keep it real and dish up plenty of laughs (which releases oxytocin and helps with milk production, btw).
Exclusive Facebook group support and printable PDFs!

Hey, I’m Laura. International board-certified lactation consultant (IBCLC) and postpartum doula. You get 14 years’ worth of answers with my online feeding class.
We don’t talk enough about the tears and confusion around feeding your baby. Breastfeeding doesn’t always come naturally—and that’s okay. It can feel like a love/hate relationship. Maybe you’re wondering, “Why the hell did I decide to do this?” No shame in the absolute overwhelm of trying to just feed your baby.
My course gives you specific things to try right away. One of my favorites? A simple notecard exercise to manage your expectations. Countless problems can arise with newborns, and being prepared supports you actually reaching your feeding goals.
Guess what? You don’t need a million things to be able to feed your baby successfully. What you truly need—knowledge to empower you and give you confidence. With my course, you can feed confidently and calmly.
