Do you want to increase your chance of successfully breastfeeding?

Have you heard about the many benefits of ‘colostrum harvesting’?

I’ve helped hundreds of women to successfully enjoy breastfeeding. My teaching approach is based on years of experience as an NHS midwife and antenatal educator managing a breast-feeding support group.

Breastfeeding is a skill! Get support and practical advice for success.

Scotland has one of the lowest rates of breastfeeding in the world. I want to help change this! These bi-weekly ‘breastfeeding calm’ workshops have been created for you to attend during pregnancy as well as postnatally, with baby in arms, to ensure that you and your baby get the best possible start.

You are much more likely to succeed if you have the right information, support and practical advice.

You will learn about:

•     the benefits of colostrum harvesting (antenatal hand expressing) and how to do it.
•     why positioning and attachment are so important
•     an easy guide that you can follow to ensure correct position and attachment
•     what problems can occur and how to avoid them
•     how to hand express and what equipment you may need
•     the role your partner and family can play in supporting you to breastfeed
•     what to expect in the first few weeks after birth
•     how and when to introduce a bottle if you want to

These workshops are hands-on and practical, with plenty of opportunity to ask questions.

I combine my wealth of experience and my love of teaching to get you as ready as you can be to breastfeed.
