  I found the breastfeeding class (offered at Christ) was super helpful. I believe that if you plan on trying to breastfeed you should take a class, plus it's for your partner too so they can be more informed. When I was pregnant I also wanted to cover all my bases. The class was offered as a two-in-one being split with the first session being breastfeeding, and the second being baby basics. We ducked out after the first session....

  I delivered at Bethesda North (loved my experience there), and took classes there. I didn't find it expensive at all. I took the condensed one day birthing class (DH came with). I believe it was $90, but it included a separate breastfeeding class (also highly recommend), and a C - Section class. I didn't attend the C - Section class, but it would have been good to attend and be prepared had the need for a section arisen (thankfully, it did not).

  @ssoegaard2011 This is the class I'm thinking about too! Glad you found it helpful.
