Feel Confident, Supported, and Ready to Breastfeed

Breastfeeding is a powerful way to nourish and bond with your baby, but starting out can feel overwhelming without the right support. This face-to-face, practical workshop is led by a highly experienced Infant Feeding Midwife and IBCLC Lactation Consultant, together with a tongue tie expert, giving you professional, evidence-based support from the very start.

Whether this is your first baby or you’re hoping for a more positive experience this time, we take you beyond the basics. You’ll gain a deep understanding of how breastfeeding works, what to expect, and how to recognise when extra support might be needed. This workshop is highly interactive! You’ll practise key techniques, explore tools, and leave feeling more confident and prepared.

Birth partners are welcome and encouraged to attend. Their involvement can make all the difference.

This workshop covers:

• How breastfeeding works and understanding milk production, hormones, and your baby’s natural feeding instincts

• Why the first hour matters and the value of skin-to-skin and how to support the first feed

• Recognising effective attachment and how to know feeding is going well and when to get support

• Practising breastfeeding positions with hands-on guidance using dolls and knitted breasts

• Expressing and pumping and when to do it, how to store milk safely, and how to maintain supply

• Colostrum harvesting from 37 weeks, including our unique harvesting colostrum pack and demonstration

• Understanding common challenges, including tongue tie, low milk supply, and sore nipples

• Emotional wellbeing and building confidence, managing expectations, and knowing you’re not alone
