Breastfeeding awareness, education and support Empowering and supporting women, through education and experience, to fully embrace the art of mothering. Breastfeeding is central to this art. It is natural, although learned, nurturing and fulfilling for the whole family. I believe every mother has the right to experience the joy of breastfeeding and every baby has the right to its nurture and nourishment. Ante-natal Education Because breastfeeding is a learned skill, it is important to understand how it works before you start actually doing it. I can offer group/individual sessions in the last few weeks of pregnancy covering the following issues: What to expect your breasts to do in the early weeks What to expect your baby to do in the early weeks Good positioning of mother and baby Effective attachment of baby to breast How to achieve comfortable, efficient and productive breastfeeding Breastfeeding myths Baby lead weaning (introducing solid foods) Post-natal Breastfeeding support Even the most prepared new mother may not find it easy to achieve comfortable, efficient and productive breastfeeds in the early days. I can offer regular home/hospital visits in the first few weeks after birth and/or troubleshooting visits, as required, at any stage. My approach is tailored to each family. I can give you as short or as long a visit as is necessary. (Subject to prior arrangements with other clients and childcare).
