Idaho Baby & Tot Speaker Agenda

Join IBCLC Melanie Henstrom for From Bump to Breast—a practical, no-pressure prenatal breastfeeding class designed to empower expectant parents with the knowledge and confidence they need before baby arrives. Learn what to expect in the first days, how to support a good latch, signs baby is getting enough, and how to avoid common challenges. Whether you’re planning to breastfeed exclusively or just exploring your options, this session is a welcoming space to ask questions, bust myths, and prepare for a smoother feeding journey.

Explain the role of doulas and its benefits and how it differs from other support at the birth. Talk about how doulas also support the partners. We will describe the process from consultation through hiring and then the actual day of the birth and into the weeks after postpartum.
