At MothersMilk we know there is no better start in life for your new baby and no better introduction to parenting than breastfeeding. It truly is a beautiful and fulfilling experience.

Breastfeeding is the most natural thing in the world.....when you know how!!

So why do so many women find it so challenging, especially in the first few days or weeks?

And why do it at all? Take a look at the numerous benefits.

Despite the popular belief that breastfeeding is the most natural and instinctive thing in the word, it is actually a learned skill for both mother and baby. It takes patience, understanding and support. And most importantly, it requires professional non-conflicting advice. In the fast-paced busy hospitals where we deliver our babies, it is often hard to get support from the over-stretched but well-meaning staff. Sometimes the experts just aren't available when you need them.

Have a look at the MothersMilk model for successful breastfeeding.

Through our antenatal workshops you can prepare for the most important job you are about to undertake. You will acquire the skills necessary to understand your body and your baby, and have the knowledge to recognise and manage the problems you may encounter on your breastfeeding journey.

The workshops are based on the World Health Organization's 10 steps to successful breastfeeding. In addition we offer postnatal support, our breastfeeding doulas are there to guide and support you through the early days of breastfeeding.
