The Parenting Preparation Package- Private sessions on the Central Coast

The Parenting Preparation Package is a 3 ½ hour in-home package that is split over two sessions- one that you complete antenatally and the other when your baby is born. This option spaces out the information and ensures that you have support in the early days and weeks when you need it most.

This package includes the following:

  • 1 x 2-hour Breastfeeding and Newborn Essentials Education Session.
  • Includes full-colour booklet
  • 1 x 90-minute Postnatal Education consultation (in-home or via Zoom).
  • Phone/email/text support from the time of your Antenatal Session to one week following your Postnatal Session.

Cost: $350

Additional in-home postnatal education sessions or calls can be scheduled if you need further support.

Please note that these sessions do not replace the clinical support of your midwife, lactation consultant or GP. If physical assessments or feeding plans need to be implemented, I will make recommendations to see an appropriate practitioner. 

 

Breastfeeding and Newborn Essentials Antenatal Session

This session includes essential information and strategies to get your breastfeeding journey off to a positive start. The breastfeeding component includes everything from the Preparing For Baby session. The Newborn section will provide you with essential information to navigate the early days with knowledge but without overwhelming you with too much information.  

 

 

You will learn:

  • Health benefits of breastfeeding for you and your baby.
  • Breastfeeding essentials: The first feed, expectations for the first 72 hours and beyond. 
  • Strategies to reduce nipple trauma, mastitis, and engorgement. 
  • How to know your baby is getting enough milk.
  • Partner support during breastfeeding.
  • Information about expressing.
  • Breastfeeding challenges, how to recognise problems and where to seek support.
  • The early weeks’- expectations, newborn needs,.
  •  Caring for your baby- sleep, settling crying. 
  • Considerations to prepare for a gentle and nourishing 4th trimester.

More detailed discussion and individualised strategies will be explored in the postnatal session when you really need that information.

 

In-Home Postnatal Education Session

This session is tailored entirely to your needs. Prevention is better than cure and access to early advice is key. 

Typically these sessions include discussions about the birth, breastfeeding, discussion of holistic strategies to support your baby’s sleep rhythms, reassurance, and answering all questions that you need support with. 

To book please email or call so we can arrange your antenatal session. Day and evening sessions are available.
