Breastfeeding

In this class, participants learn the advantages of breastfeeding and the proper techniques for initiating breast-feeding, holding a baby while breastfeeding, pumping the breasts for milk, and storing breast milk.

This course is free, and pre-registration is required. Last minute registration will only be accepted if space permits.

Class is offered weekly with morning and afternoon times available.

Modifications to Prenatal and Newborn Care Classes Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic

UAMS Health has suspended in-person tours of Labor and Delivery.

In-person Prenatal Classes have resumed at the UAMS Health Women’s Center located at 6119 Midtown Ave. You must be a patient of UAMS Health to attend these free classes. Because of COVID-19, class size is limited.

If you are interested in online prenatal classes, please submit a form and we will send you an access code.

To find articles created by our patient education team, use the patient education resource library.
