Breastfeeding Education
Classes Designed for new and
expectant parents, these comprehensive workshops aim to expand upon the
knowledge gained at antenatal classes, covering the basic information you
will need to successfully breastfeed your new baby as well as insights into
parenting in the first year. And,
unlike other sessions, the role of the father is not forgotten – we have
included a special topic on fatherhood. Our sessions are conducted by qualified
Australian Breastfeeding Association Counsellors and Community Educators. We
encourage you to attend with your partner as we recognise the important role
of the partner in a successful breastfeeding relationship. If your partner is
unable to attend or you are single, you might like to bring another support
person or feel free to come on your own. Topics covered include: ·
How breastfeeding works and how breastmilk
is made ·
Breast and nipple care including common concerns ·
How to breastfeed a new baby ·
What to expect from a new baby ·
Adjusting
to parenthood, the effect of a new baby on the parent's relationship ·
Special
topics on motherhood and fatherhood ·
An
introduction to expressing & storing breastmilk
and working and breastfeeding ·
