Taking a breastfeeding class before delivering your twins is a proven way to increase your chances of meeting your feeding goals. Lindsay Castiglione, IBCLC and mom to two sets of successfully breastfed twins, has helped hundreds of families get off to the best possible start in twin parenthood by taking her classes.

What makes this twin feeding class different from any other breastfeeding class?
Breastfeeding multiples demands a unique level of flexibility and openness to all feeding options.
Most traditional lactation classes focus on feeding baby at the breast/chest and discourage alternate feeding options that are often necessary with multiples. This class focuses on all of the different ways your babies can receive the benefits of your milk such as combining latching with pumping, bottle feeding or combo feeding.
Class Registration
Unable to make one of the dates listed? Due soon and you’d rather not wait for an upcoming group class? Consider a Private Breastfeeding Class or a Prenatal Lactation Consultation instead:
A twin prenatal consultation covers all of the same educational content we cover in class but with many more benefits - and it’s usually covered by insurance! Additional benefits include a written individualized feeding plan, an online resource library curated for you based on your feeding goals and unique circumstances, and much more.

If you plan to provide your milk in ANY way ((even if you plan to combo feed, pump and bottle feed, etc.) a 1-on-1 prenatal consultations is often fully covered by insurance through the Lactation Network. I am also an in-network provider with all Aetna plans.
Plans accepted through The Lactation Network include:
