Introduction to Breast feeding course
Do you have concerns regarding breast feeding?
Are you worried that you will struggle?
Did you have problems the last time?
Has breastfeeding been painful?
Do you feel you have had lack of support?
Are you feeling like your baby isnt getting enough milk?
If the answer is yes to any of the above questions then this is definetely the course for you!!!
Here, you will have many solutions to these problems to aid you in successfully breastfeeding and to make your breastfeeding journey a pleasurable and fulfilling experience.
With the tools, knowledge and the right support you can breast feed successfully!
If you are struggling to breast feed or have had difficulty in the past, then you are in the right place. This course will guide you through each stage and possible difficulty that you might face during those first few weeks, and provide you with the correct tool kit to fix those problems. According to unicef (2023) only 1% of uk mothers are breastfeeding at 6 months of age, and we believe this is largely due to lack of support.
On going remote support is also offered as part of the course and is a great addition for successful breastfeeding. When you are supported and encouraged that you are doing the right thing, you are much more confident in your ability to feed your baby.
