Breastfeeding Is Natural…
But That Doesn't Mean It's Easy
You’ve probably heard breastfeeding is the most natural thing in the world. But let’s be honest—it often doesn’t feel that way at first.
You’re about to meet your baby. And with all the love and anticipation, there’s also that quiet swirl of questions:
→ “I know this is supposed to be so good for my baby and myself, so I want to be able to do this.”
→ "What if I can’t do this? What if it’s harder than I thought? What if I’m already behind before I begin?"
Increasing research is confirming that breastfeeding benefits mothers too, including lowering the risk of certain cancers and supporting long-term health.
Don’t Let the First Week Slip By. It’s the Secret Sauce to
Breastfeeding Success
That first week after birth matters more than most people realize—but most new parents don’t learn how crucial it is until they’re in it.
Yet, many parents are left to figure it out through exhaustion and endless scrolling on Instagram.
This class changes that. You’ll walk in with a grounded plan, not guesswork. Gail’s one-on-one prenatal consults are always in high demand, and now, the essential knowledge she shares with clients privately is available to every parent through this course.
We’ll simplify the noise, help you feel calm, and prepare you for that all-important first week before you’re in it.
Let this be your start. Clear. Connected. Confident.
How Can I Prepare for Breastfeeding Before My Baby Arrives?
Discover if this course aligns with your journey into motherhood.
If you're seeking guidance, support, and practical tools to prepare for breastfeeding, you've come to the right place.
The kind of parent who wants to feel calm, not chaotic, in those early days of feeding
Craving preparation before you’re up at 2am, crying, and Googling “why won’t my baby latch”
Unsure what pump to get—and overwhelmed by the advice (or lack thereof)
Wondering how to make breastfeeding work and give your partner a way to support feeding
Wanting to skip the confusion of TikTok tips and finally hear from someone who's helped thousands of real families
Ready to feel more confident, less second-guessing, and deeply connected to your baby
Whether you're a first-time parent or have faced challenges before, this course offers a supportive space to build confidence and knowledge for your breastfeeding journey.
Why Now? Because the First Week Sets
The Tone for Everything
You don’t need to wait until you’re sleep-deprived and second-guessing every decision. Start with support.
The truth is, the first seven days of breastfeeding hold more weight than most people realize.
It’s when your supply is established. Your baby is learning to latch. You’re figuring it all out while healing and running on empty.
But far too many parents are left to navigate it through scattered advice on social media and late-night Google searches.
This course clears the noise and gives you a grounded plan before baby arrives—so you’re not reacting in real-time… you’re responding with confidence.
Let your first week be a launchpad, not a crisis.Â
If you’ve ever thought…Â
 → “I thought this would come more naturally.”
 → “Why didn’t anyone tell me it could be this hard?”
→ “Everyone online says something different—I don’t know who to trust.”
 → “How do I even know if the baby is getting enough milk?”
 → “Which pump should I get—and why is this so confusing?”
 → “What if I want my partner to help, but I don’t know how to make that work?”
These aren’t just questions. The emotional weight you carry into one of the most important experiences of your life.
The real problem isn’t that you don’t know—it’s that no one gave you a roadmap.Â
A plan. A guide you can trust.Â
That’s what this course delivers—before you’re in the thick of it, when it matters most.

"I just finished my third session with Gail and I am super happy! I am a new mom who had no idea of breastfeeding. Our pediatrician recommended Gail and we went to see her on our baby’s third week because the baby was not gaining enough weight and also he was eating only on one side.
Gail was very professional, approachable, and gave us practical advice to facilitate breastfeeding, and in a few days, everything was perfect! I left her practice so relieved!!
What I also liked is that she didn’t only advise us on breastfeeding but on many other issues too (tummy time routine, how to help our baby who was fussy, baby massage, etc).
I would have made an appointment with her immediately after delivery to avoid the extreme stress I got during the first 3 weeks. Thanks Gail!!"
"I was extremely nervous due to having a poor experience early on in my postpartum with a different lactation consultant, but Andrea soothed all my worries right away.
Andrea is positively wonderful, she made me feel welcome and comfortable within seconds. She’s extremely knowledgeable and gave me several tips to overcome my son’s bottle preference/boob fussiness.
By the end of our appointment, I felt more confident in my breastfeeding journey, and that I will be able to overcome my son’s poor latch and fussiness.
I was also fortunate to meet the owner Gail, who is sweet as can be and extremely knowledgeable as well. I don’t think you could go wrong with this group of women. From one struggling breastfeeding mama to another — give them a try, you won't regret it."
"Gail is literally an angel. I love how friendly and approachable she is. She made me feel motivated and proud of myself when I was having really deep doubts about my milk supply and whether or not I was properly feeding my newborn.
I’m so thankful that the Lactation Network matched me with her! Thank you so much, Gail! I’ll be utilizing your knowledge and look forward to connecting again :)"
"I highly recommend if you need a lactation consultant! I worked with Marisa, and I travelled from Chicago multiple times to see her. She is very knowledgeable and encouraging, while also helping you find steps that are reasonable to fit in within your life.
I only wish I had started seeing her earlier — maybe even a pre-natal appointment."
