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, providing critical information and tips so you can
- build a healthy milk supply,
- read your baby’s feeding signals 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 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
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.

Almost all parents intend to breastfeed their babies, but by 3 months post birth almost 50% are no longer giving any breastmilk and up to 80% of parents wish they could have breastfed for longer. The 3 most common reasons parents give for stopping breastfeeding are thinking they don’t have enough milk, nipple pain and damage, and lack of support from partners or close family.
This valuable 2 hour session presented by will help you gain the confidence to breastfeed, understand your newborn’s behaviours and get your breastfeeding journey off to a great start.
