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.

    • It was looking very faded and not a patch on how it looked originally. I’d have preferred to see it re-done but seeing as that’s no longer an option, another mural would look good there. 
    • I really enjoyed the play at the National Theatre Nye (Bevan) about the politician and the establishment of the NHS.  He had to seriously compromise including some element of the private sector, GP practices, pharmacies being independent businesses, and consultants keeping on private work  The days that a working class person from the valleys can be on the Cabinet are all but gone.  But even then he was an outlier
    • If it's bothering you, play them at their own game. Get a giant dummy camera, something really obvious and point towards wherever breaches their privacy. If they have an issue, you can then advise they're breaching your privacy and your camera is fake and it was just a safety deterrent. 
    • I've just moved into the area and needed some help getting rid of endless packaging and boxes following our move. I called AFA waste and they came within 15 minutes. Very friendly, efficient and helpful, and a decent quote too. I'd highly recommend them.
