Summary
This online breastfeeding class is taught by a member of our Infant Feeding team and has been designed to prepare and support Royal Surrey parents on their breastfeeding journey. We recommend you attend this class from 30 weeks of pregnancy.
A member of our infant feeding team will discuss:
- Relationship building (bump bonding), and the part breastfeeding plays in this.
- Colostrum collection.
- The importance of establishing the foundations of health and how colostrum milk and breastfeeding can support this.
- Normal new-born behaviour and how this often conflicts with societies expectations.
- Effective positioning and attachment at the breast.
- Where to find practical support.
- What you can do to prepare for Breastfeeding.
There will also be time to answer your questions about infant feeding.
We warmly welcome partners to attend this course with you. Research has shown that when partners receive the same antenatal education as the breast/chest feeding the feeding intentions/plans are more likely to be successful.
