Our Presenters

Cindy and Jana

Cindy Leclerc and Jana Stockham are Registered Nurses and International Board Certified Lactation Consultants. For over 20 years, they have been helping Saskatoon families adjust to life with a newborn. In addition to hands on care, their website cindyandjana.com, answers the most common questions new parents ask. Cindy and Jana will be teaching a prenatal breastfeeding class, Simply Breastfeeding. This class is based on feedback from parents about the things they WISH they had known before their baby arrived. Breastfeeding is natural but it takes time to learn. Knowing some basics about breastfeeding and how newborns behave helps new parents to feel more confident and avoid the most common breastfeeding problems. Cindy and Jana’s goal is to empower parents to recognize themselves as the true expert for their own baby! For more on Cindy and Jana visit their website or find them on Facebook.
