Antenatal Breastfeeding Digital Appointment

Are you a first-time Mum or a Mum who had a hard time breastfeeding before? We spend so much time preparing for birth. That excited anticipation as we click over each week of gestation and get into the mindset for labour.  And then you birth your baby.  That delicious, squeaky newborn darling is finally in your arms and they want to feed and feed, and yes feed some more and somehow you're expected to know how to breastfeed? Trying to navigate what breastfeeding looks like whilst healing from birth all the while transitioning into the fourth trimester can feel somewhat overwhelming.

I've been there. I absolutely get it. You don't need to try wing this, that's why I'm here for you beautiful.

I've got your back Mama.

Our society has this unspoken belief that breastfeeding "is natural" and it "just works".  Whilst yes it's a natural, beautiful process of nourishment, breastfeeding itself is very much a learnt and then practiced skill. I suspect that almost every Mum could benefit from extra breastfeeding education and a whole lot more support.

Getting breastfeeding savvy during your pregnancy can be literally life changing and can give you the best opportunity for a smooth, relaxed and comfortable breastfeeding journey.

What does an Antenatal breastfeeding digital appointment look like?

• An interactive 60-90 mins chat and education session live on video call with Jewels, all from the comfort of your home. 
  

• You'll have the opportunity to share any previous breastfeeding history and raise any concerns you may have around your upcoming birth.

• We deep dive into expressing colostrum antenatally. Why? How? Benefits? How to store? How to give to your newborn? (includes demonstration)
  

• How labour may affect the beginning of your breastfeeding journey.  What you can do in various scenarios so that you feel empowered and informed enabling you to be able to adapt as needed.

• The first feed and the importance of the golden hour

• Positioning and attachment (includes demonstration)

• The importance of nipple care and what you can do- especially in the first 6 weeks

• We get into the real nitty gritty of what a good, deep latch can look like and how you can expect to feel. Different ways to approach establishing that latch so that you feel empowered and confident.

• What you can typically expect the first 24hr, 48hrs and 72hrs to look like breastfeeding your new baby.  Think of myself like your bestie- sharing the nitty gritty details with a side of practical tips and beautiful support to see you through.
  

• Signs your baby is getting enough

• Discussion around milk supply and 'typical newborn behaviour'

• Non-judgemental discussion around what is typically called the "top up trap".
  

• Responsive night feeding
  

• How your partner can support you

I provide up to date evidence-based research and support but in a really practical way. My approach is supportive, empowering, and non-judgmental for the modern Mama with the aim to make you feel like you've got your own bestie or cheerleader in your corner giving you a little extra love. I want to help you achieve your breastfeeding goals by sharing my experience and expertise with you by providing you with the tools you need to feel confident in your body to navigate the beginning of your breastfeeding journey.

You don't need to try wing this Mama, it's time to invest in you.
