Feeding Your Baby & Newborn Preparation Workshop
The first 24 hours after birth can feel overwhelming. Your body is recovering, you may be exhausted, and suddenly you are responsible for a tiny baby who depends on you for everything.
Are you wondering…
-
What position should I use for breastfeeding after a C-section? -
How will I hold my baby comfortably?
-
How will I know if my baby is feeding well?
-
Do I have enough milk?
-
Can I prepare for breastfeeding before my baby arrives?
-
What if breastfeeding doesn’t go to plan?
-
How will I know my baby is getting enough milk?
You probably have lots of questions — and that’s completely normal.
This workshop is designed to answer these questions before your baby arrives.
You will learn what is normal in the first hours and days after birth, how to recognize feeding cues and how to build confidence in your milk supply.
We will also explore comfortable feeding positions, including practical solutions for mothers recovering from a Caesarean birth.
I will tell you how antenatal colostrum collection can provide reassurance and support during the early days, giving you confidence that your baby can receive those precious first drops while you recover and rest.
You will have the opportunity to practice newborn care skills, including nappy changing and handling your baby, so that you feel more prepared before birth.
Most importantly, you will leave with a realistic understanding of newborn behavior, feeding patterns and what your baby truly needs during those first crucial 24 hours. When you know what is normal, you worry less and you rest more.

This workshop was created around the questions I hear from new parents every day.
As a practising midwife with over 25 years of experience supporting women during labour, birth and the postnatal period, I know what parents often worry about when baby arrives.
My goal is to help you understand what is normal, prepare for the early days and feel more confident before challenges arise.
