BETH OWEN - ANTENATAL, POSTNATAL & BABY SERVICES

The Infant Feeding Workshop is a part of The Antenatal Course but can also be a stand alone workshop

When it comes to feeding your baby there is a huge amount of opinion and information out there. The stats tell us that people want to breastfeed - locally rates on leaving hospital are high - but those figures drop pretty rapidly.

Right after birth isn't the best time to be figuring out a new skill and absorbing loads of information so antenatal preparation is really important. Of course it is differnet once baby is in your arms but having some knowledge is going to make it all a bit easier and make a whole lot more sense.

The aim of this session is not to make everyone breastfeed for x months or years. My aim is to ensure you have information and support for whatever you want to do.

I commonly hear 'I plan to breastfeed', 'I hope to breastfeed', 'I will try to breastfeed' and often followed by 'but it's ok if it doesn't work out, I know it doesn't always'.

We approach breastfeeding with very low expectations that we will succeed and often this is down to a lack of knowledge, understanding and support. Plus lots of people find when it comes to it it isn't ok if it doesn't work out. Breastfeeding can be more important to you than you realise.

Your workshop will be a small group course where you will be able to ask all your questions and ensure you have the information you need to reach your feeding goal.

Important Class Information

The Infant Feeding Workshop is for the pregnant person plus one other - ideally someone who will be around postnatally. It might be your partner, mum, sister or you might prefer to attend alone.

Classes are suitable for all choices but our focus is on breastfeeding. However, my aim is for you to feel supported to make the right choices for you without judgement or pressure.
