Antenatal breastfeeding workshops
Due to COVID-19 restrictions online antenatal breastfeeding workshops are hosted online.
These workshops aim to help you feel more confident about breastfeeding and understand how to prevent and solve common breastfeeding difficulties, such as your baby not taking the breast or sore nipples and how to tell if your baby is getting enough milk.
We encourage dads, partners and any other family members to join in too.
