CLASS OVERVIEW

Breastfeeding is often a very rewarding and enjoyable experience, but it can take some time for both mum and baby to learn and grow in confidence. It is useful to learn as much as you can about normal newborn baby feeding behaviours, milk production and trouble-shooting before the birth of your baby.

Our breastfeeding workshops aim to set you up for success right from the day of birth. We explain and give opportunities to practice (using a doll) to hold your newborn baby in a way that makes breastfeeding easier. We provide critical information and tips so you can

• build a healthy milk supply,
• read your baby’s feeding signals
• have confidence in offering baby his/her first breastfeed, and
• achieve a comfortable breastfeeding relationship.

Designed to arm parents with knowledge and practical tips, we share the science of ‘how breastfeeding works’ so you are prepared for a great start. It’s an interactive session with practical information and plenty of opportunities to ask questions.

We encourage support people to attend the workshops with their partners so they can be prepared to provide practical help and encouragement in those early days and weeks.

We recommend that you attend the breastfeeding workshop with your support person before 34 weeks of pregnancy. This will give you time to use the workshop information to build a plan for the early weeks of parenting and breastfeeding.

If you have had a previous breast surgery, have a medical condition that can interfere with breastfeeding (such as PCOS, diabetes, gestational diabetes), or have had a difficult previous breastfeeding experience, we recommend that you book a 1:1 appointment where one of our lactation team will work with you to better understand your situation, and make an individualised plan that will help you to successfully breastfeed.
