Feel prepared
before your baby arrives
An antenatal breastfeeding consultation is a chance to learn how feeding works before your baby is here, while you still have time and space to take it in. I come to your home, we sit down together, and I walk you through what to expect in those first hours and days. We cover how milk supply works, how to position and attach your baby, and how to read early feeding cues, so none of it feels new when the moment comes. It is relaxed, unhurried, and there is no such thing as a silly question.
What we cover
Every session is tailored to you, but here is what we usually work through together:
- How your milk supply works
- What to expect in the first hours and days
- Positioning and attaching your baby
- Reading your baby's early feeding cues
- Colostrum and your early milk
- Hand expressing before your baby arrives
- Getting the most from skin to skin
- What is normal, and when to ask for help
- Setting up a comfortable feeding space
- Any questions or worries on your mind
Why learn before baby comes?
The early days with a newborn are busy and emotional, and it is a hard time to take in new information. Learning the basics while you are still pregnant means feeding feels familiar rather than overwhelming when your baby arrives. You will know what normal looks like, what to try if something feels off, and when to reach out for support.
This session is for any expecting parent, whether it is your first baby or your fourth, and whatever your feeding plan looks like. There is no pressure and no judgement, just clear, practical support built around you.
