We are thrilled to announce the introduction of a very unique Lactation Simulation Model 

ONLY available locally, at the Natural Birth Place Inc.

This breast simulator looks and feels like ‘flesh’. The model is able to mimic breast engorgement, plugged ducts, mastitis, nipple blebs and hand expression.

Our interactive classes will help prepare new parents on how to perform breast massage techniques for early expression of colostrum and management of postpartum engorgement. Hand expression which actually simulates breast emptying, is an amazing and invaluable skill to learn in advance of baby’s arrival. Correct and incorrect latch can be simulated by donning on the model.

There is NO breastfeeding preparation class like this.

Price: $125.00

Classes are held every 3rd Tuesday from 4pm to 7pm.

As new parents you might find yourseleves over whelmed with a new born. Let us help you with removing some of the guess work and and discuss tips, tricks, and techniques to parenting.

Price: $75.00 per couple.

Classes are held every 1st Thrusday of the month from 3pm to 6pm.

Learn to birth the way YOU want in any setting you want.

The class is taught by Maria King, CNM, IBCLC with over 20 years as a midwife and her Senior Student Midwife, Renea Morales, who has been a childbirth educator and Doula for over 10 years.

Price: $175.00 per couple.

Classes are held the first and last Sunday of every month from 9am to 1pm.

Twelve Continuous Weeks

Twelve weeks, 3 months, the last trimester of pregnancy. The standard series of classes for a Bradley class is 12 continuous weeks for many reasons. First of all it works. Our statistical analysis shows that students who attend a full 12 week class series are more likely to have an unmedicated birth. In looking at renewal information we have found that the fewer the weeks of classes the higher the rate of medication. 

There are many reasons for this and perhaps the first is that there is a difference between learning information and preparing the body physically for an athletic event. No one would go out for an Olympic event with less than 3 months of training. Shortening the time of preparation for birth is like being in a rush to prepare pasta for a dinner party and cooking it for only half the time. Pasta takes time to cook and the human body takes time to prepare for birth. 

Physical training: It takes time. Many women who attend our classes may not be active, and those who are may not be doing physical training to prepare them for birth. All of the physical exercises in the Student Workbook have been used by hundreds of thousands of women in preparation for birth and they feel were important for adequate preparation for birth. We encourage women to review any exercise program with their health care practitioner before starting. 

Standard of Practice: The standard of practice for Bradley teachers is 12 continuous weeks of classes. Because it works. Couples should ask for and receive the proven standard of 12 complete weekly classes. More couples are able to birth naturally with 3 months of practice than shorter classes.
