Breastfeeding

Newborn Expectations and Care

Breastfeeding

Breastfeeding is natural, but it is also a learned behaviour. There is lots of conflicting information when it comes to breastfeeding support. The aim of this section is to equip you with knowledge and strategies to get breastfeeding off to a positive start.

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

Your Newborn Baby

Discover parenting strategies to nurture your baby’s physical and emotional development sensitively.

  •  The first week-expectations, behavioural and physical changes

The 4th Trimester

Becoming a parent may be the most incredible thing you have ever done, but there may also be challenges.  We will discuss strategies to prepare emotionally as a couple and support your transition to parenthood physically and emotionally.  You will be provided with resources that outline local services if you require further support when your baby arrives.

We cannot recommend Kate highly enough. Everyone that we meet that is expecting we rave about Kate and The Wonders Within! The tools and knowledge Kate shared during the CalmBirth course and the Preparing for Baby course gave us confidence and empowered us to make the best decisions in each moment so far; from birth to bringing our beautiful Samuel home. Thank you Kate from the bottom of our hearts for taking the time to sit with us and help prepare us for the amazing journey that is parenthood.” Ashlee (Google Review)
