Empowered Breastfeeding Workshop
Empowered Breastfeeding Workshop
A live, online workshop where you can learn about how to breastfeed your baby, and make it a more empowering experience.
This workshop is no BS, straight talking, evidence based & reassuring.
It can be easy to feel overwhelmed about how you are going to feed your baby. There's so much everyone wants to tell you about how you *should* do it. There's also loads of myths, and many outdated practices too (have you been hearing "well when you were a baby...." ?). This workshop is to help you to find your way by providing clear, no-judgement, up to date evidence-based information to help you make the right decisions for you and your baby.
We'll cover all of this:
- how breastfeeding works (it's fascinating and amazing!)
- how to prepare in pregnancy
- getting started and different feeding positions
- feeding cues
- expressing colostrum, and expressing milk
- common challenges and where to get help & support
- myth busting - like pain when feeding, saggy breasts & drinking wine
Plus some other important things often not covered in breastfeeding information:
- How to advocate for yourself
- How to get the best from the system and your midwife and health visitor
- How to made decisions about feeding your baby
- Your wellbeing whilst breastfeeding, and tips to help you cope with those early days, weeks & months
- Selfcare practices to help YOU feel looked after and taken care of whilst you're looking after the baby
Extras:
- You'll also get two especially recorded super supportive guided relaxation MP3's for supporting you with feeding. To help you relax, feel more confident, and empower you.
- There will be a Q&A at the end of the session with a brilliant local lactation consultant (IBCLC), a breastfeeding expert with 20 years of experience.
This workshop cannot promise to make breastfeeding easy (sadly), but it will empower you in your pregnancy and give you knowledge and encouragement you approach feeding your baby with more calmness, confidence and positivity.
