Antenatal Breastfeeding Preparation
This session has been created in collaboration with parents who have told me what they wished they’d known before they had their babies and through many many years of experience and the ongoing support of families, coupled with my training to become a breastfeeding counsellor.
My journey to becoming a doula has been heavily influenced by infant feeding, there is little more emotive subject than how we feed our babies. This has inspired me to create this workshop that focuses on the very early days of breastfeeding and beyond into the fourth trimester.
During the session we will initially focus on your feeding goals and offer the opportunity to debrief past experiences and consider what you would like to know. The second part of the workshop will consist of interactive information sharing, signposting to incredible resources, considering normal baby behaviour and ‘what to expect’ and we will get into the real practicalities of breastfeed your baby in the very early days.
The sessions will be personalised to your needs and be followed up with a menu of fantastic evidence based resources that you can refer back to when you need it.
The session alone is £80.
For £120 the session can also secure a face to face session for a breastfeeding support session once your baby is here. (Face to face sessions offered within a 25mile radius)
