I signed up for a breastfeeding class today as I’m 32 weeks. I can probably attend that alone, but was wondering if it would be odd if my husband came or if it’s usually just a woman’s class? If most women bring there s/o I don’t wanna be the only one without or only one with, if he does go

I never went to a class but in my opinion the more support you have, the better!
Daddy’s are usually always welcome!
Personally, I think it would be good for him to go IF he wants. It may help him better understand how to help you on the journey.
Im sure its just fine. Its a learning experience and sometimes they really do pay attention and can help u when u are frustrated.
There were husbands at my class. Mine couldn’t come to that one, but he was going to. It might be helpful for him to know the information given.
My husband came with and there were a few other husbands at the class I attended. The instructor strongly encouraged parters to attend because she said that when a mom is crying and frustrated at 2am, the partner is the only one that can help. Also, after birth it was quite difficult for me to remember a lot and it was helpful that my husband remembered what was said during the class lol
We are all adults… or should be… very important to be at every class that u attend
Thanks ladies for the info, I told him everyone is saying you should go to the class.
The hospital we went to suggested that dad’s attend the breastfeeding class.
I went alone, but there were women in the class who’s husbands did go.
Not odd! My sons father came to my breastfeeding class!

Personally I would take mine with me… I just had my 3rd last Friday and was having a lot of trouble getting her to match and he helped as much as he could but we were both lost
Yes I would take him! When I was frustrated and almost ready to give up my husband stepped in and knew what to do, it’s worth it!

My husband was there for lessons and it was a good thing too!! Him hearing how to help and support my efforts form a professional made it stick! I think if the info had come from me, he wouldn’t have been so helpful. It set us both up for a long and healthy nursing stint with our son. We finally just weaned at 22 months. And congratulations on your new edition!
They should welcome him with open arms and lots of praise! Some guys dont like going to that sort of thing…that is awesome he wants to go.
My husband came with me. He will then be able to help and support me if I’m having trouble.
When I went there was a bunch of guys with their ladies but my mom went with me 
My husband came to mine. The lactation consultant said there are lots of dads that come and that she recommends it.
I’d definitely bring him!!
Bring hubby. Mine kept asking a lot of questions when he I started nursing. So bring him
Bring him you kno men usually are very curious & will ask alot of questions you might not even think on asking!
I feel like it’s good for him to be informed. When people come to visit if they are holding baby and he sees hunger cues he can tell them baby is hungry time to go back to mom. Plus breastfeeding is fascinating.
My husband went to my breastfeeding class, it was very informative for him and me. If he supports you 100% he should have not trouble going.
