What’s Included in the Workshops? 〰️
1.
Collecting Colostrum
Do you know what colostrum is and why it’s so beneficial for your baby’s health? In this session, we’ll explore its components and guide you through the process of hand-expressing, ensuring you feel confident in this valuable skill that can support your breastfeeding journey.
2.
Breastfeeding and Your Baby’s Microbiome
Breastfeeding plays a critical role in building your baby’s microbiome. We’ll delve into how this process works, its impact on reducing allergies, and the science behind it. I’ll share insights from my own experience navigating allergies with my son and provide practical advice on how you can optimise your baby’s health.

Birth Planning for Breastfeeding
Planning your birth is a great opportunity to set the stage for successful breastfeeding. We’ll discuss how you can incorporate small yet powerful moments into your birth plan that support your breastfeeding goals, regardless of the birth experience you plan or have.
