CALM, CONFIDENT BREASTFEEDING WORKSHOP FOR EXPECTANT MOTHERS


When I had my son back in 2010, I found the antenatal breastfeeding classes desperately disappointing. They seemed to focus purely on how easy and natural it was, and as such I entered the world of breastfeeding hugely naive and uninformed. We were offered no information about the realities of feeding ? day-to-day practicalities, timings, amounts, hunger cues, mixed feeding, routines, how to look after ourselves when feeding, what hurdles we might encounter and how to access the right support for a positive journey. It?s fair to say that the reality of breastfeeding was a big shock to me, and it wasn?t until I found the right support ? postnatally ? that I enjoyed or even felt engaged in feeding my son. I know that I would have had a much more positive experience if I felt really clued up and prepared ahead of Oscar?s arrival, and that?s what I want to bring to every one of you.


I don?t have an agenda with breastfeeding. I believe breast milk is nutritionally superior to formula, but I strongly believe that each woman ? as with birth ? has the right to make decisions based on what feels right for her and her baby. I also believe that she will make happier decisions if she is informed, armed with the knowledge, tools and techniques to make her journey more calm, positive and engaging. Happy mum. Happy baby.


And that?s exactly why I?ve scoured to find the most wonderful lactation specialist I can, Imogen Unger, and collaborated to offer you an outstanding antenatal workshop covering everything you need to know about feeding your baby.


This woman-only workshop lasts for 2.5 hours, and covers:


How breastfeeding works ? supply and demand, let down reflex, importance of emptying the breast

How to establish a good milk supply

Identifying early feeding cues

Positions for breastfeeding

How your partner can support you

How to know if your baby is getting enough milk

Size of a baby?s stomach/understanding milk volume

Poo and wee (of course!)

Troubleshooting ? mastitis, sore nipples, top-up trap, tongue-tie

Expressing

Mixed feeding

Paced bottle feeding

Returning to work

Your questions answered

A full handout pack that you can take home and share with your partner


The next workshop will run on Monday 24th April, 10.00am?12.30pm in East Dulwich. Tickets are ?45.


There are a maximum of 12 places to ensure that everyone has the chance to ask questions and receive personally tailored support. These workshops book up very quickly. Places will go on a strictly first come, first served basis, so if you would like a place, please book now using the link below.

    • There's a hint on what happened here but see nothing else https://www.cio.com/article/2069427/payment-processing-outages-at-uk-retailers-raise-reliability-issues-for-cashless-transactions.html      
    • Nauris and his team have done fantastic work in our garden for the second year. Last year, they sanded, oiled the deck and did an immaculate job of paving the area around the deck. Then two weeks ago, I asked Nauris if he could build a garden shed, sand and oil the deck and paint and repair the fences. Again, another excellent job and he was great at fitting in a couple of small fixes. We are really pleased with the shed which is well made and painted and blends in well to the garden. Nauris is really respectful and always left everything tidy in the evening and spotlessly clean at the end of the job. Nauris also provided a clear quote for the work at the beginning.  I recommend Nauris Graudins (and his team) very highly - [email protected]  
    • So who actually checks that the above is followed - are there going to be "surprise" inspections ?
    • We have used Aria and AFE Plumbing for many years on a number of jobs - installing new taps and showerhead, unblocking pipes.  He is always quick to respond and able to swiftly attend to the issue, easy to communicate with, and makes sure the job gets done. Definitely recommended.
