Bump Start: Starting breastfeeding - the first 2 weeks
Advertisement
Bump Start is a FREE weekly group for expectant parents to connect with each other and build their village. We have a themed discussion and guest speaker each week to support you through your pregnancy, birth and transition to parenthood.
This week we will be joined by Ann Bruce, International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and Breastfeeding Counsellor for the local charity South Cumbria Breastfeeding Support.
In this session you’ll learn some of the key things that you need to know in order to get breastfeeding off to a strong start, and what to expect in the first 2 weeks.
Breastfeeding is a learned skill, not an automatic reflex, and this workshop will build your knowledge, understanding, skills and confidence.
You’ll learn about:
• the ‘breastcrawl’ and you’ll see videos of it in action
• the importance of skin-to-skin contact
• how to get a 'good latch'
• different breastfeeding positions that can work well with newborns
• some of the common challenges and ‘booby traps’ that can arise in the first 2 weeks
• how to tell things are going well, and were to get help and support
• what partners and other loved ones can do to help get breastfeeding established
There will be opportunities for you to ask questions throughout the session.
