classes

Could anyone recommend a good newborn and/or BFing class?  I wanted to take them through my hospital (St. Joe's) but apparently they are completely booked through my due date of October 3.

We registered at Babies R Us this weekend and they mentioned that they have a free BFing class.  Has anyone ever tried this and have any feedback?

Thanks in advance!

    check and see if you can go to one at another health east hospital. I would think since they're all the same system, you could go wherever. 

     

    I took all of mine at Regions, but that's where I was delivering.

    I would just look at other hospitals.  There were people taking the class at my hospital who weren't actually delivering there.

    United has a lot of classes that are offered, and while I was looking, hardly any were filled up.

    I delivered at FV Southdale and took classes there and they were good (we did the express childbirth class and BF). Amma maternity in Edina also offers classes. Here is a link

    Blooma also offers classes:

    Allina offers breastfeeding classes at several of their hospitals (Abbott, United, Unity, Mercy).  It looks like there are quite a few openings.  I don't think you need to deliver at an Allina hospital in order to take the class.  Here's the link to the list of breastfeeding classes.  It looks like it's $30 to take it.

    We took our classes at Fairview Princeton and they were free. Anybody can sign up for their classes even if you don't deliver there.
