Breastfeeding Preparation Class

Breastfeeding is often described as "the most natural thing in the world" — and yet it's one of the things new parents most commonly feel blindsided by. Learning what to expect before your baby arrives can make all the difference.

This relaxed, evidence-based class is for expectant parents and their partners who want to feel informed and supported, whether you're planning to exclusively breastfeed, combination feed, or simply keep your options open.

Together, we'll cover the foundations: how milk supply works, positioning and attachment, the first 48 hours, common early challenges, and how to recognise when things are going well (and when to seek extra support).

The goal isn't to tell you what to do — it's to help you start your feeding journey calmly, with realistic expectations and practical tools at your fingertips.

In this class, you'll:

• Understand how breastfeeding works physically and hormonally
• Learn effective positioning and attachment techniques
• Explore what to expect in the first days, weeks, and months
• Discuss common challenges and how to navigate them
• Learn how your partner can be involved and supportive
• Gain confidence in reading your baby's cues

You'll also receive:

• A take-home handbook with key techniques and reminders
• A curated list of trusted resources and support services
• Ongoing email support in the days after class
