Supporting Breastfeeding in the First 24hrs
An online workshop for:
IBCLCs, Breastfeeding Counsellors, Midwives, Doulas, Antenatal Teachers, Postnatal Support Workers and all those who work with new parents
The first 24 hours following birth are a delicate transitionary phase for mother and baby. What happens with feeding decisions is key to establishing effective breastfeeding. In the words of Linda Smith, to establish 6 months of exclusive breastfeeding one must first establish 6 hours.
In this workshop, we will explore:
o the biology of what happens to the mother and what happens to the baby in the first hours after birth
o how to empower new parents to navigate establishing breastfeeding
o how to support and inform when things are challenging
o how to use this knowledge in antenatal teaching contexts
