This workshop can be booked individually or in a small group in the comfort of your own home. I designed and wrote the course having attended antenatal courses myself for my children and coming away feeling unprepared and not really knowing how I was going to actually feed! Just because breastfeeding is natural, doesn’t always mean it is easy and I felt bit of a failure. Telling a mum repeatedly to put baby to the breast as I was told many times is like asking a learner driver to do a hill start in their first driving lesson.

Fundamentily a mum who has good breastfeeding knowledge before their baby is born is equipped to get off to a great start, stimulating feeding receptors and having a great milk supply in the future. Also as always your baby won’t have read the book or attended my workshop so to speak, so you will need to teach them how to latch on properly, to take a good and effective feed. Your baby maybe very sleepy after the birth or may not be with you initially and may need an alternative plan in the short term.

My course is the A to Z of breastfeeding, including the anatomy of breastfeeding, antenatal preparation, hand expressing, the first few days, combination feeding, looking after yourself, milk supply, common concerns and remedies and much more.

The workshop lasts between 90-120 minutes and costs £90. Group cost £30pp max 4 people. Please email me at: jilly@jillythompson.co.uk
