Childbirth Education and Breastfeeding Classes

Central Maine Medical Center (CMMC) offers childbirth education and breastfeeding classes online because an important part of prenatal care is understanding your pregnancy, labor, childbirth and newborn care.

  • Comfort Techniques
  • Medical Procedures and Cesarean Births
  • Newborns and Postpartum

Understanding Breastfeeding Class

This interactive online course covers the essentials of breastfeeding, including videos and animated examples. You will learn when to call for help and your partner will learn tips on how to support you. You will also be able to track feedings with an easy-to-use tracker! Topics include:

  • How Breastfeeding Works
  • How to Breastfeed
  • When to Feed Your Baby
  • Getting Enough Milk
  • Breast Care
  • Breastfeeding Lifestyle

Class Fees:

Childbirth Education Class $35

Understanding Breastfeeding Class $25

Please call the Central Maine Healthcare pre-registration department at 207-777-8081 to register. You will receive login instructions via email.

Included with your registration, a CMMC certified childbirth educator and/or certified lactation consultant is available for questions  via email (or phone upon request) as you progress through the online course(s). You’ll have access to the class for nine months and may progress at your own pace or re-watch any content again. You can even watch and then review with your partner or support person!
