Easy Breastfeeding Antenatal Class

A positive attitude towards breastfeeding has the greatest influence on whether a mum will breastfeed successfully or not. Our beliefs and attitudes about breastfeeding begin as children and form our attitudes towards breastfeeding as adults.

What's covered in the class?

• Making great milk is easy !
• Getting off to a positive start at home or the hospital
• Creating a breastfeeding plan
• Easy breastfeeding - positioning and latch - hands on practice and video
• How often should I feed my baby?
• How will I know my baby is getting enough?
• Easily resolving common breastfeeding issues

Doula Ireland's Easy Breastfeeding program also uniquely combines self hypnosis techniques that quickly boost confidence levels and set the foundation for a positive breastfeeding experience. Hypnosis is a naturally induced state of relaxed concentration - a state of mind and body in which we communicate suggestions to our subconscious mind. This part of our mind influences what we think, how we feel, and the choices we make - if all you've ever heard about breastfeeding is how difficult and painful it is then to your subconscious mind that's the reality - and who would willingly choose that option? The great news is that you can change your beliefs about breastfeeding(the process starts at the workshop can continues as you listen to your CD at home).

Your milk production and release is reliant on both physiological and psychological factors. Stress affects your milk production. So your mindset will affect how well your body works. Fortunately self hypnosis is a great way of encouraging just the right breastfeeding attitude - one of ease and positive association.

You'll also receive our Easy Breastfeeding CD for continued practice at home to continue builidng your confidence and reaffirming the belief that breastfeeding can be a wonderful experience.

During the 3 hour class you'll also learn

• Self hypnosis / relaxation techniques to boost confidence and change beliefs
