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.

    • With fibre you are paying for the speed, which is the number, yours is 300 so if you did a lot of gaming, for example, you would want the fastest possible.  If it's just office work or maybe streaming on Netflix you likely won't need as fast, but, if there are a lot of people in your house all doing their own thing on different devices, then faster speeds are better.  I don't rely on my Wi-Fi much other than when I am using my mobile.  I use Ethernet cables to connect up everything, I Have one cable running from my router, along the skirtings and through a hole I drilled in the wall to another room.  I have attached the plusnet speed guide which gives you an idea of how it works.   
    • I'd reread what you posted and try to summarise.  It just comes across as a rant.
    • Just shows, to me, once proud to be a citizen of UK.. now.. well if we pay/contribute to services - nhs, police, fire etc and folk who have made this there home - no matter what creed or culture.. for the love c of God, can someone  please explain to me.. how we have working royals who like them or not, have tried and continue to actually support and make a change and then we have Andrew.. who just destroys everything.. not just him, or royalty but his own children..  I had great admiration for The Queen - and respect.. as have a huge number of people.. but.. these old traditions where gosh.. live rent free and can’t get chucked out until I believe 2070? From what I scanned..well he has and continues to have it all.. has to go thru what old rules? Etc.  doubt very much he has even kept the upkeep maintenance up on his abode.. and do the shite keeps on pulling up.. What has Andrew done for UK or for that matter since he was 20?? Do please tell me       Totally off topic, before anyone jumps down my throat.. I just do not get how anyone is proud to be British at this point in time. Whoever is in power, seems to be able to help themselves to the public purse with no redress at all - Covid is a great example of lining of pockets.. Millions  given to Rowanda, so one is led to believe, to help with refugee problem and one can’t get a plane load off!  I simply do not get it at all. Use of food banks in UK growing yearly, homeless as well, nhs, police, fire service etc all on their knees..        
    • Have applied the green roof at a number of properties and no issues you are concerned about detected. Have issues with cats defecating in the vicinity, however, they are not selecting the green roof specifically. Use decent compost, slow release fertiliser specific for green roofs, and lay it methodically not leaving blank patches. It looks amazing when cared for and adds value.
