breastfeeding workshop breastfeeding support A hands on breast feeding class for new mums. As a mother, one of the best things that only you can do for your baby is to breast feed.

While breast feeding isn’t the only option for feeding your baby, every mother has the potential to succeed and make it a wonderful experience.

This course is a great preparation for succeeding in breast feeding with real hands on experience.

Covered by most health insurance companies, this breast feeding workshops will be a great opportunity for you to learn about fundamentals of breast feeding or share your breast feeding tips to other mothers.

We firmly believe the best time to educate yourself about breast feeding is when you are pregnant. We find that most people experience problems within the first few days or weeks and their support can range from fantastic to awful. Some hospitals still use bottle feeding standards and protocols for breastfeeding mothers and babies and we are not surprised there are problems.

Help yourself by getting the best information and support routes before your baby arrives.

Helping you succeed to breastfeed your baby

This course covers all the important stuff:

Getting a good latch and feeding positions – practice with life like dolls
Information on what is it really like in the first few hours, days and weeks and what helps
