Re: BF Class...
Nope. Mine was ladies only. Dh was so relieved. He has gone to everything with me but felt really strange coming to the Bf'ing class. When I told him they don't allow DH's to come he said "thank GOD, I don't need to see everyone's boobs!" 
I told him that we will not be whipping out our boobs, just having a discussion, watching a video, and practicing on a doll. I thought his reaction was hilarious!

Re: BF Class...
The one I went to was about 20 girls and 4 guys. The men didn't really do much... My DH skipped it and it was fine.

Re: BF Class...
Dh came with me to mine, the lactation consultant said it would be good for both of us. He was the only male there out of a class of 8 women, I felt soo bad. But he did learn some things, and is happy he can help me with those 1st couple frustrating weeks of BF.

Re: BF Class...
The one I went to was almost all couples, so I guess they are all different.

Re: BF Class...
My DH went with me to mine. It was good that he went he learned a lot. I also figured that he insisted that I BF that he should go!  He was also glad that he went because he was able to help me the first couple of weeks with the BF'ing. Good luck! Oh... there was 2 other guys who came. I think the guys should go to all of the baby stuff with their wives. They need to experience it all!

Re: BF Class...
Mine didn't, but looking back, I wish he had. Sometimes even the best of hubby's can jeopardize the BFing relationship - i.e. a concerned father who is *convinced* that baby isn't getting enough to eat. In class you'll learn that it can be disconcerting that you won't know how much baby is eating, but will be taught ways to understand if baby is getting enough. I told hubby over and over again, but unless he hears it himself, it doesn't mean anything  I'm just relieved I chose to ignore him!

Re: BF Class...
My DH came with me and the whole class was filled with couples. I am glad he was there and I think him being knowledgeable and supportive made all the difference in the world.

Re: BF Class...
My husband said he was very glad he attended. He learned a lot and he felt it was important information. It was important for him to know how his baby was being fed. The teacher also spoke A LOT about being supportive to the husbands and how they can help their wives succeed at BFing. If it were not for Scott's help and supportive I would never have been able to provide BM for Molly for a year.
There were NO naked breasts or anything really weird going on it the class.
And it is sooo true..husband's can hurt a women's bfing relationship at times. It is important they understand what bfing is and how it is done and that their babies are eating enough and how to support a new mom. JMO

My DH definitely does not want to go. I am so ok with that. I don't need him there IMO.

Re: BF Class...
My DH went to our BF class, and I was surprised as to how many expecting fathers where their. DH actually enjoyed the class, and he was such a big help for me when I did start BF my DD. He read up on the BF books too.

Re: BF Class...
DH went and was glad to go  His support means a lot to me and it was great for him to learn about breast feeding and how our DD will be nourished and how he can help and all.
