SUMMARY:Breastfeeding with Confidence Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Understanding Breastfeeding Through the Lens of Normal Newborn Behaviour\nDon’t lose sleep over breastfeeding. Have the confidence to breastfeed well from the very first feed.\nMost breastfeeding classes focus on feeding techniques alone. But breastfeeding doesn’t happen in isolation. It happens within the context of a real baby with real biological needs.\nUnderstanding normal newborn behaviour is one of the most powerful ways to build breastfeeding confidence. When parents understand why babies feed frequently, cluster feed, wake often, seek contact and sometimes seem to live at the breast, they are far less likely to worry that something is wrong.\nThis comprehensive 3-hour prenatal workshop combines the latest evidence on lactation and breastfeeding biomechanics with an evidence-based understanding of newborn neurobiology, behaviour and sleep, helping you get breastfeeding off to the best possible start.\nDrawing on current lactation science, breastfeeding biomechanics, neurodevelopment and responsive parenting research, this workshop will help you navigate the early weeks with confidence and avoid many of the common pitfalls that can undermine breastfeeding.\nWhat You’ll Learn\n \nPreparing for Breastfeeding Before Birth\n\nHow breastfeeding works\nUnderstanding colostrum and milk production\nMaking the most of the first hours after birth\nHow birth and hospital practices can impact breastfeeding\nAntenatal colostrum expression: who may benefit and who probably doesn’t need it\n\n\n\nUnderstanding Normal Newborn Behaviour\n\nWhat is normal in the first days and weeks\nWhy babies feed so frequently\nCluster feeding explained\nWhy newborns wake so often\nThe connection between feeding, sleep and regulation\nUnderstanding your baby’s cues\n\n \nBreastfeeding Biomechanics: Fit and Hold\n\nHow to position your baby comfortably\nWhy positional stability matters\nWorking with your baby’s natural feeding reflexes\nHow to achieve effective milk transfer\nCommon positioning mistakes that can make breastfeeding harder\nHow breastfeeding should feel\n\n\n\nBuilding and Protecting Your Milk Supply\n\nUnderstanding supply and demand\nWhy frequent feeding is normal and important\nHow to know if your baby is getting enough milk\nUnderstanding weight gain, nappies and feeding patterns\nWhen pumping is helpful and when it may not be\n\n\n\nCommon Challenges and Solutions\n\nEngorgement\nSore nipples\nConcerns about milk supply\nSleepy babies\nWhen and where to seek help\n\n\n\nThe Important Role of Partners\nResearch consistently shows that partner support is one of the strongest predictors of breastfeeding success. Partners will learn practical ways to support breastfeeding and navigate the challenges of early parenthood together.\n\nWhy This Workshop Is Different\nMany breastfeeding classes teach mums how to breastfeed.\nThis workshop helps you understand why babies behave the way they do.\nWhen you understand normal newborn behaviour, breastfeeding becomes much easier to navigate. You’ll leave with realistic expectations, practical skills and the confidence to make informed decisions for your own baby.\nSuitable For\nPregnant parents at any stage of pregnancy, although attendance between 30 and 36 weeks is recommended.\nPartners are strongly encouraged to attend.\nInvestment\n$180 per family\nYour registration includes attendance for you and your partner at no additional cost.\nPartners are strongly encouraged to attend. Research consistently shows that partner support is one of the strongest predictors of breastfeeding success and breastfeeding duration.\n
