Dr. Sears’ L.E.A.N. Expectations Classes Help Moms Make Wise Decisions

By Freida Houck, Certified L.E.A.N. Coach

Pregnant and nursing moms are just beginning a new stage of life, and L.E.A.N. Expectations, developed by Dr. William Sears, is here to help coach them through the questions, concerns and curiosity!  This program is designed to teach expectant and nursing moms current information. Topics covered include the following:

• how to set the stage for a healthy and happy life as their baby grows
• how what they do today effects how their labor and delivery will go
• how to shape their baby’s tastes long before they ever taste solid food.

Three distinct classes are available through L.E.A.N. Expectations. These classes are independent of each other or can be taken as a 3 session course at A Nurturing Moment in Huntsville, AL.

Being RIGHT Now offers great information for all pregnant moms.  No matter which trimester you are in, you’ll find answers to some of your most pressing questions and share ideas with other moms.  This first class provides the latest information about maintaining a healthy pregnancy lifestyle, safe and effective tips on exercising while pregnant, and how moderate exercising can make delivery easier.  During this class, moms will also learn to develop strategies to improve and maintain a positive attitude throughout pregnancy and beyond.

Eating RIGHT Now emphasizes the importance of proportions and food quality and demonstrates how what is eaten during pregnancy dramatically affects the baby’s health. This class shares tips on how to get back that girlish figure after delivery. It will help pregnant women understand their cravings as well as how much weight to gain for a positive pregnancy and delivery experience. Moms will gain an understanding of how what they eat right now affects how both mom and baby will eat after delivery and into childhood. 

Learning RIGHT Now is for moms in all stages of pregnancy through the first three months of life after delivery. Moms learn how to make the most of the initial days and weeks with their new bundle of joy. This class emphasizes that the need for Mom to take care of Mom is just as important the need for Mom to take care of baby. Moms learn important information that will help them understand what baby is trying to tell them and how to read his or her cues accurately. 

As a mom of 6 children myself, I would have loved to have had all this information when I was pregnant & nursing! I look forward to encouraging moms to be thru this program! L.E.A.N. classes are listed at http://www.MomSaidEatYourVeggies.com.
