Get breastfeeding off to a positive start with knowledge, tips & how to plan for feeding in pregnancy
“I make milk. What’s your superpower?”
About the workshops
In these live online workshops you can learn about how to breastfeed your baby, and make it a more empowering experience.
This workshop is no BS, straight talking, evidence based & reassuring.
It can be easy to feel overwhelmed about how you are going to feed your baby. There's so much everyone wants to tell you about how you *should* do it. There's also loads of myths, and many outdated practices too (have you been hearing "well when you were a baby...." ?).
This workshop is to help you to find your way by providing clear, no-judgement, up to date evidence-based information to help you make the right decisions for you and your baby.
We'll cover all of this:
“Thanks Susan for the great workshop. Lots of interesting facts and information and I definitely feel more confident in starting the breastfeeding journey.”
