Breastfeeding Workshop

Our breastfeeding education class is facilitated by one of MAMA’s experienced lactation consultants and held over two hours in an intimate group of a maximum of 8 pregnant women (plus one support person per woman is highly recommended) .

Breastfeeding Education: Knowledge, Confidence, and Support

Breastfeeding is natural, but it’s also a learned skill for both you and your baby. The right knowledge and support can make all the difference in your breastfeeding journey. Our breastfeeding class is designed to provide you with confidence, practical skills, and evidence-based information to set you up for success.

What You'll Learn

  • Why Breastfeeding? – Understanding the benefits for both you and your baby.

  • Breasts & Hormones – How your body prepares for and supports milk production.

  • Skin-to-Skin & The First Feed – The importance of early contact and getting breastfeeding off to a great start.

  • Feeding Cues – Learning to recognize when your baby is hungry and ready to feed.

  • Positioning & Attachment – Techniques to ensure a comfortable and effective latch.

  • Hand Expressing – How and when to express milk by hand.

  • Signs of Adequate Intake – How to know if your baby is getting enough milk.

  • Bottles & Breast Pumps – When and how to introduce expressed milk if needed.

  • Common Challenges & Troubleshooting – Addressing concerns like nipple pain, supply worries, and more.

You'll also have plenty of time to ask questions, and you'll receive helpful handouts for future reference.

This class is ideal for:

  • Expectant parents, especially those preparing to breastfeed for the first time.

  • Parents who have faced breastfeeding challenges in the past and want to feel more prepared.

  • The comprehensive information, the workshop was interactive, we could ask questions whenever and were made to feel really comfortable and not rushed.

  • The workshop really demystified breastfeeding for me and I left feeling a lot more confident about how to begin breastfeeding and when to seek help.

  • Our LC educator was extremely insightful and took time to answer any questions we had and ensured we understood. Very friendly and helpful
