Chattanooga Lactation & Joy Journeys Birth Services Present

A Hands On Workshop for Expecting Parents

Breastfeeding may be natural, but that doesn’t mean it always comes naturally.

Breastfeeding Prepared is an interactive prenatal workshop designed to help you and your partner walk into those first days, weeks and chapters of feeding with more knowledge, realistic expectations, practical tools, and a support system already in place.

Instead of waiting until you’re exhausted, overwhelmed, and trying to figure everything out with a brand new baby in your arms, come prepare before baby arrives.

Sunday, November 22nd

4:00 to 6:30 PM
Chattanooga, Tennessee
Exact location provided upon registration

$97 per couple

[Registration Limited- 15 Couples Maximum]

Your registration includes your partner or support person.

We strongly encourage them to attend with you!

What You’ll Learn…

Breastfeeding Basics

Learn how breastfeeding and milk production work, what to expect during those first hours and days, and what normal newborn feeding can actually look like.

Latch & Positioning

Explore practical ways to help baby latch effectively, comfortable feeding positions, and how small adjustments can make a big difference.

Preparing for Common Challenges

We’ll talk honestly about some of the challenges families encounter, what you can prepare for ahead of time, and when it’s time to reach out for additional support.

Setting Yourself Up for Success

Prepare your home and feeding spaces before baby arrives. We’ll talk about what you actually need nearby, comfort, nourishment, reducing overwhelm, and creating an environment that supports feeding and recovery.

Partner Support

Partners, you have a BIG role in breastfeeding too.

We’ll talk about practical ways to support the breastfeeding parent, communication during those intense early postpartum days, protecting rest, recognizing overwhelm, helping regulate the environment, and becoming an active part of the feeding team.

Building Your Support System Before Baby

One of the best times to establish lactation support is before you desperately need it.

We’ll discuss the benefits of a prenatal lactation consultation, how individualized preparation can help identify potential concerns ahead of time, and why already knowing who to call can make getting help postpartum so much easier.

Ashley Lucas, RN, IBCLC

Chattanooga Lactaion

Ashley brings 18 years of experience caring for mothers and babies through postpartum nursing, the newborn nursery, NICU care, and lactation support, including 12 years specifically in lactation. But her passion for this work is personal, too. Ashley remembers what it felt like to be the exhausted mom searching for answers and trying to figure out how to feed her own baby, and that experience continues to shape the way she cares for families today.

As an RN and IBCLC, Ashley takes a warm, holistic and evidence based approach to breastfeeding support. She believes in slowing down, really listening to each family, and looking for the why behind a feeding struggle, rather than simply treating the symptoms. Her experience includes complex latch and feeding concerns, low milk supply, slow weight gain, tongue restrictions and oral function, bottle refusal, and advanced oral assessments.

More than anything, Ashley wants families to feel like they already have someone in their corner. Her goal is to help parents understand their babies, feel confident in their own instincts, and know exactly where to turn if breastfeeding gets hard.

This Workshop Is For You If...

You’re pregnant and hoping to breastfeed, you’re feeling a little overwhelmed by everything there is to learn, you want your partner to know how to help, or want to enter postpartum feeling prepared rather than reactive- this is for you! If you’ve breastfed before but want an empowered or different experience this time, you’ll love this.
