Relaxed and private home-based sessions to give you the confidence and knowledge you need.

​
This session is designed for both first-time expectant parents and also couples that have had breastfeeding challenges with their previous children. I adapt my sessions to your own specific needs and concerns.

​This antenatal breastfeeding session is approximately 2 hours in length. This is best scheduled during the last trimester of your pregnancy.
​
​Topics include:
  • Anatomy of the lactating breast and role of the breastfeeding hormones
  • How to position and attach your baby
  • Understanding correct attachment
  • Importance of the first breastfeed​
  • What to expect during the first weeks
  • Natural patterns of breastfeeding
  • How often the baby needs to feed
  • Advantages of breastfeeding for mother and baby
  • Difficulties that can arise
  • Expressing, milk storage and returning to work whilst breastfeeding
  • How support people influence breastfeeding
​Partners are crucial to breastfeeding success, therefore the Geelong Born breastfeeding session gives particular attention to the dads too. Partners will learn how to support their breastfeeding partner, be hands on with their parenting role and gain an understanding of breastfeeding challenges.

Build your confidence and become fully informed.
