Breastfeeding Workshop

In this workshop we talk you through how your body prepares to breastfeed your growing baby and discuss the amazing properties of breastmilk - it’s not just food it’s medicine. We also discuss how to cope with common scenarios and the not so common issues, such as engorgement, pain, plugged duct, mastitis, and thrush - thankfully, all are easily rectified with help and support. 

We also cover going back to work and give practical tips for pumping and storing your milk. We discuss stopping breastfeeding when you feel it is time to wean your baby off the breast – it’s your decision. We will also point you to further sources of support in your area, so you never feel alone.
