Consider chatting with or lining up a local lactation consultant now, or take a breastfeeding class designed for expectant parents (check your hospital for courses). “When I was pregnant with my twin girls, I knew I wanted to try breastfeeding, so I scheduled an appointment with a lactation expert a few weeks before their birth,” says Leslie McCormick from Burlington, Ont. “I know it doesn’t sound like your average preggo’s idea of relaxing, but since I was able to nurse my daughters until past their first birthday, I’d say it was absolutely one of the best things I did while pregnant.”
