SUMMARY:Breastfeeding with Confidence Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Breastfeeding isn’t just about latch and positioning. It’s about understanding your baby.\nMany parents prepare for birth but feel far less prepared for the realities of the first days and weeks with a newborn. Why does my baby want to feed again? Is cluster feeding normal? Am I making enough milk? Why won’t my baby sleep unless they’re in my arms?\nWhen you understand the biology behind breastfeeding and normal newborn behaviour, everything starts to make much more sense.\nThis evidence-based workshop combines the latest research on breastfeeding, infant neuroscience and newborn behaviour to help you approach the early weeks with confidence. You’ll learn how breastfeeding works, why babies behave the way they do, and how feeding, sleep and regulation are all deeply connected.\nRather than relying on rigid routines or outdated advice, you’ll learn to work with your baby’s biology, making breastfeeding more comfortable, effective and enjoyable for the whole family.\nDuring this workshop you’ll learn:\nPreparing for breastfeeding before birth\n\nSetting yourself up for breastfeeding success\nPreparing your partner to support breastfeeding\nAntenatal colostrum expression: who may benefit and who probably doesn’t need it\n\n \nThe first hours after birth\n\nMaking the most of skin-to-skin and the first breastfeed\nHow birth, induction, caesarean birth and common hospital practices can influence breastfeeding\nProtecting breastfeeding when things don’t go to plan\n\n \nHow breastfeeding really works\n\nColostrum and milk production explained\nUnderstanding supply and demand\nWhy frequent feeding is normal and important\nHow to know if your baby is getting enough milk\n\n \nUnderstanding normal newborn behaviour\n\nWhy babies feed so often\nCluster feeding explained\nWhy newborns wake so frequently\nThe connection between feeding, sleep and regulation\nUnderstanding and responding to your baby’s cues\n\n \nBreastfeeding biomechanics: Fit and Hold\n\nHow to achieve a comfortable, pain-free breastfeed\nWorking with your baby’s natural feeding reflexes\nPositional stability and effective milk transfer\nCommon positioning mistakes that can make breastfeeding harder\n\n \nCommon breastfeeding challenges\n\nSore nipples\nEngorgement\nConcerns about milk supply\nSleepy babies\nPumping: when it’s helpful and when it may not be\nWhen and where to seek support\n\n \nPartners are encouraged to attend.\nResearch consistently shows that partner support is one of the strongest predictors of breastfeeding success. Partners will learn practical, evidence-based ways to support breastfeeding, understand normal newborn behaviour and confidently navigate the challenges of the early weeks together.\nWhether this is your first baby or you’re hoping for a different breastfeeding experience this time around, you’ll leave with realistic expectations, practical skills and the confidence to trust both your baby and yourself.\nInvestment\n$180 per couple (partners attend free).\nYour investment includes three hours of evidence-based education, practical demonstrations, comprehensive course notes and the opportunity to ask questions in a relaxed, small-group setting.\nMany private health funds provide rebates for childbirth and breastfeeding education delivered by a Registered Midwife. As policies vary, please check with your individual health fund. Provider numbers are available on your invoice.\nWhether this is your first baby or you’re hoping for a different breastfeeding experience this time around, you’ll leave with realistic expectations, practical skills and the confidence to trust both your baby and yourself.\n
