We would always recommend that first-time mothers who want to breast-feed their baby attend a breast-feeding workshop at some stage before the
birth. Breast is definitely best and we always advise our mothers to try it if they possibly can. However, though it is a wonderfully natural process, there are still techniques that it is valuable to learn, particularly if you want to avoid or minimise the early difficulties that mothers can encounter.
Lasting two hours, the workshop is just for mothers and concentrates solely on
breastfeeding. Our aim is to make sure you leave it armed with all the information you need to breastfeed with confidence. Topics covered include: the benefits of
breastfeeding to both mother and baby; understanding how
breastfeeding works; correct positioning; the importance and techniques of latching on; prevention of problems, plus tips on expressing and storing breast-milk.
