This is a FULL BREASTFEEDING EDUCATION.

Have you already done an anatenatal course but you feel that your breastfeeding knowledge is lacking?

Do you want to feel more confident in breastfeeding?

Do you want to also have at home experienced support built into the price of the course

do you want to remove the ‘if’ from ‘i want to breastfeed if i can’

If you answered yes to any of the above then this is the course for you. Come and learn from a qualified breastfeeding counsellor about how to best optimise your breastfeeding journey. This will include understanding the physiology of the breast, positioning and attachment, variations of normal and troubleshooting early breastfeeding problems.
