"The assistance provided at the hospital was uneven as certain nurses were helpful while others were impolite. I received inadequate information and guidance about breastfeeding, which was rushed. I participated in your breastfeeding class during the third week and believed it would have been more beneficial to attend during pregnancy. I am sharing my experience to ensure that no one has to face difficulties solely due to a lack of information."

Why to attend?
Attending a breastfeeding class during pregnancy can be very beneficial for a pregnant mother. Here’s why:
Breastfeeding is neglected during pregnancy: Unfortunately, many mothers-to-be do not receive enough information about breastfeeding during their pregnancy. As a result, they may not know what to expect or how to prepare for breastfeeding once their baby is born.
Breastfeeding is not considered an important factor in the postpartum period: Even when mothers are given information about breastfeeding during pregnancy, it is often not emphasized enough. Breastfeeding is a crucial factor in the postpartum period, and it requires significant attention and support.
Breastfeeding may be difficult: While breastfeeding is natural, it is not always easy. Many mothers experience challenges, such as pain, difficulty latching, low milk supply, or other issues. Attending a breastfeeding class can help mothers learn how to overcome these challenges and provide the best possible care for their newborn.
Attending a breastfeeding class during pregnancy can be an essential step for a mother who wants to provide her baby with the best possible start in life. By learning about the benefits of breastfeeding, how to prepare for breastfeeding, and how to overcome challenges, mothers can set themselves up for success and enjoy a fulfilling breastfeeding experience.
A newly delivered mother should attend a breastfeeding class for several reasons. Firstly, there are often inconsistent breastfeeding advice from various sources, including family, friends, and the internet. Attending a breastfeeding class can provide evidence-based information on breastfeeding and help clear up any confusion or conflicting advice.

“Initially, my mother advised me to feed cow's milk to my baby from the beginning. However, I received conflicting advice from others, which made it difficult for me to continue breastfeeding. To overcome this, I convinced my mother to attend your class, where she learned and started supporting me. Your detailed explanations and valuable information have been very helpful to our family, thank you.”
“Upon hearing from my mother that she had ample milk supply, I assumed that breastfeeding would be problem-free, as I believed low milk supply was the only issue that could arise. However, after my daughter was born, I faced difficulties with latching and other problems from the very beginning. It was only then that I realized I should have prepared better by attending a breastfeeding class. I reached out to you for guidance and enrolled in your class, which turned out to be very beneficial. I am grateful for your help and guidance during the most challenging period of my life.”
