So much of the advice new parents receive about feeding starts after the baby arrives — often in the middle of the night, when you're exhausted. An antenatal session flips that. We sit down while you're still pregnant and walk through what the first hours and days of feeding actually look like, so nothing comes as a shock.
Because I'm a registered midwife and IBCLC, the session is tailored to your body and your history, not a generic class script. If you have a medical condition, previous breast surgery, or a feeding experience you'd like to go differently this time, we build a plan around that.
Sessions run for about an hour, in your home anywhere on the Northern Beaches or online if that's easier. Partners are welcome — two confident people are better than one.
