Overview                          

You’ll be welcoming your baby soon, you know you want to breastfeed and you want to be prepared.

Breastfeeding is a learned skill, for mums and babies alike.  Get the practical skills to help your baby establish breastfeeding, as well as solutions for common challenges. 

Our face-to-face workshops aim to expand upon the knowledge gained at hospital antenatal classes, to give up-to-date information and insights into breastfeeding a baby and parenting in the early days

Many mums find it ideal to book a workshop/ class 6 to 7 months into pregnancy. This allows for breastfeeding supportive strategies to be added to birth plans, time to connect with local support groups, and allows for potential early arrivals!

Face-to-face workshops are longer than our online Breastfeeding Preparation Sessions and offer small-group interaction and, in many cases, a demonstration of breastfeeding by a local mum with a young baby.

Past participants regularly comment that our classes were THE most important bit of pre-birth preparation they did – so schedule an ABA workshop or class now.

You’ll leave feeling empowered and prepared for your journey ahead.

You will learn:   

• How breastfeeding works
• How to tell when your baby wants a feed (hunger cues)
• How to hold your baby for a comfortable feed (positioning and attachment)
• How to tell if your baby is getting enough milk
• Managing the early weeks and possible breastfeeding challenges
• Where to get help and support when you need it most
