Parenting Classes for Breastfeeding, Pumping & Beyond
Louisville, KY | In-Person Classes Taught by an IBCLC
Feeding your baby is one of the most important — and sometimes most challenging — things you'll do. These classes are designed to give Louisville and Southern Indiana parents real knowledge, hands-on guidance, and the confidence to make it work. Every class is led or curated by Bonnie Holt Logsdon, an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) with over two decades of experience supporting families through every stage of the feeding journey.
Whether you're pregnant and preparing, heading back to work, introducing your first foods, or ready to wean, there's a class here for where you are right now.
Free Breastfeeding Basics Class
A free 2-hour class for expectant and new parents. Offered at Bonnie Knows Breast (Louisville) and Tree of Life Birth Center (Jeffersonville, IN)
Breastfeeding doesn't come with a manual — but this class comes close. Whether this is your first baby or your fourth, every newborn is different. This free, in-person class walks you through everything you need to know before baby arrives, so you're not figuring it out at 2am.
What you'll learn:
How your body produces milk and what affects supply
How to achieve a comfortable, pain-free latch
Positioning and holding techniques for the breast
Common myths about breastfeeding and chestfeeding
How to create a realistic feeding plan for after birth
How partners can actively support the journey
Partners are encouraged to attend. No experience necessary — just show up ready to learn.

Breastfeeding Basics On Demand Class Available online through the Thinkific Platform- $25
Starting Solids Class- $65
A 90-minute class for families with babies around 6 months
Introducing solid foods is exciting — and a little overwhelming. This class cuts through the noise and gives you a clear, evidence-based plan for starting solids safely and confidently, whether you choose baby-led weaning, purees, or a combination of both.
We recommend waiting until your baby is at least 5–6 months old before attending, as solid foods aren't recommended until 6 months.
What's covered:
How to recognize signs of developmental readiness
Baby-led weaning vs. purees — what the evidence says
Food allergy introduction: what you need to know
Choking hazards and food safety basics
What foods to offer first and how to serve them
Babies and partners are welcome. Class fee is $65 per family (up to 2 adults).
Upcoming Class Schedule:

Whether you're heading back to work or school, planning a trip, or simply preparing for any stretch of time away from your baby, this class gives you a clear, confident plan for pumping and protecting your milk supply while you're apart.

Maximizing your time at the pump

Your Breast Pump Plan: What To Get Before Baby Arrives - $35
Most parents spend hundreds on pumps and accessories before baby arrives — often buying the wrong things.
In this class, Lactation Consultant Bonnie Logsdon walks you through exactly which pump you need, what your insurance covers, and what you actually need (and what you can skip).
*Ideal for those in the 4th trimester and planning to order a breast pump or want to learn more about the pump you already got.

Weaning from your Lactation Journey- $65
Weaning looks different for every family. Whether you're ready to stop or your baby is leading the way, the transition from nursing or pumping can bring up big feelings — and logistical challenges that are worth planning for. This class gives you a supportive space to make a thoughtful plan on your own timeline.

Potty Train Your Toddler Early Before Age Two (with Sorcha Cavanaugh)
If your child is around 18 months old, imagine this: Fast forward a year. Your child is now 2.5 years old, but you haven't changed a daytime diaper in 12 months.
In fact, you don't even ask them if they have to use the potty anymore.
You don't know when they last used the potty.
There are no spare clothes in the car.
The car potty is retired.
You don't immediately scan every new environment to locate the restrooms.
You barely even think about their potty needs.
How is this possible?! Because you potty trained at 18 months. And it is GLORIOUS!!
If that sounds good to you, join Sorcha Cavanaugh for a free info session. She's a Louisville mom who successfully trained her two kids before age two and has helped 100+ families achieve the same results.
