About this event

🤱 Breastfeeding Workshop – What to Expect in the Early Days and Beyond

Are you expecting a baby and thinking about how you’ll feed them? Join our free, friendly workshop designed especially for expectant families to feel informed, confident, and supported ahead of your feeding journey.


🌟 What we’ll cover:

  • What is breastfeeding? Understand how it works and why it’s important.
  • Skin-to-skin contact – how it helps get feeding off to the best start.
  • Harvesting colostrum – what it is, why it matters, and how to collect it before birth.
  • The first few days – realistic expectations, common challenges, and what support is available.
  • Responsive and combination feeding – learning your baby’s cues and combining breast and bottle if needed.
  • Exclusively pumping – when it might be needed and how to protect your supply.
  • Pumping and returning to work – how to prepare ahead of time.
  • Breastfeeding in public – building confidence and knowing your rights.
  • Overnight feeding – what’s normal and how to prepare for night-time feeds.


🌟 What to expect:

  • A relaxed, welcoming session led by infant feeding specialists.
  • Practical guidance, evidence-based information, and live demos.
  • Time for your questions—no pressure, no judgment.
  • Free handouts and links to helpful resources.

Whether you're planning to breastfeed, considering your options, or just want to feel more prepared—this session is for you!
