We usually suggest starting at around 30 weeks of pregnancy. But it is completely up to you when you would like to start preparing!
Absolutely! We encourage partners or supporters to attend! One ticket covers you and a supporter.
One ticket covers you and your birth partner or supporter. That could be your partner, your spouse, your mum, your best friend - whoever you want by your side on your birth journey! Please only reserve one ticket per pair, so that we can leave spaces open for other parents.
We cover skin to skin, golden hour, the first day with your baby, feeding cues, frequency of feeds, cluster feeding, different breastfeeding positions, signs of effective feeding... and much more! There also will be time for you to raise your own questions so that you can leave feeling prepared.
This 2-hour session covers the key points you will need to initiate breastfeeding well. You don't need to have made any decisions on how you want to feed your baby to attend the course. We supply evidence based information, and you make your own decisions on feeding from there!
Why not check out our 6 week antenatal courses? Alongside information on breastfeeding, we also cover topics like labour and birth prep, early days with your baby, safe sleep and responsiveness which are universal no matter how you choose to feed your baby.
