The early weeks with your new baby can be transformed into a much easier and more relaxing experience when you discover the art of 'laid back breastfeeding'. Janet will introduce you to the concept of biological nurturing pioneered by Suzanne Colson and help you to avoid the initial difficulties many women and babies experience when given conflicting and outmoded advice.

Babies and mother have innate instincts and behaviours that enable them to start breastfeeding successfully from the start. This workshop will explain the true physiology of breastfeeding and how milk is made. It will inspire you to feel relaxed and confident as you form the intimate early bonds with your baby from the first hour after birth and beyond.

The emphasis of this workshop is on forming your new family together and keeping the contact and continuity intact that teaches your baby to feel held in safety, trust and love from the start .We will also be exploring everyday baby care including basics of winding, holding, soothing, changing, bathing and sleeping. You will learn about 'attachment parenting' - the natural way to nurture your baby. This will include information about co-sleeping, wearing your baby and the benefits of both partners using a baby carrier or sling, clothing and equipment you do and don't need.

Partners who attend will learn about emotional and practical ways they can be supported and supportive. A partner's involvement in the new family is important and your partner or closest support person is highly recommended to come with you, if possible.

The best time to attend is in the last three months of your pregnancy. 

This is an intimate workshop held in a small group with limited numbers, so early booking is recommended.
