Blossom Village Queen's Park

Expecting a baby in Dec 20/Jan 2021? We are launching our FREE online local breastfeeding classes for expectant parents in Queen's Park. Taught by experienced lactation consultant @cordeliauys this class is for new parents wanting to meet their #mumsquad and #dadsquad from the comfort of their home.

Classes will be delivered online through zoom but the all important Whatsapp group will be set up and ready to go! We know that having local friends makes a huge difference to parents and groups we have taught have gone on to spend many years celebrating birthdays together. Having that group of mums awake at 3am when you are feeding your baby in the middle of the night is invaluable. Your very own group of cheerleaders helping you to navigate this wonderful new world of parenthood. When baby arrives a socially distanced walk, cup of coffee in hand, is the perfect way to spend a day.

If you’re thinking about breastfeeding or if you’re not sure about breastfeeding this is the class for you. Breastfeeding is entirely natural, but it's also a skill that takes practice and because of the fact that we don’t all live together in a village the way we once used to, it’s often a skill that’s overlooked. 

Breastfeeding is definitely a learned process, and we passionately believe that the more you know about it before you begin, the better equipped you’ll be to handle it at home. Taking the time to learn to understand how your breasts produce milk is a brilliant first step on your breastfeeding journey.

This class covers all you need to know to get breastfeeding off to a successful start including:-
    •    how often your baby will need to feed, 
    •    different ways to hold your baby 
    •    how to know whether  your  baby has  latched on well
    •    how to avoid sore nipples and mastitis
    •    how to know your baby is getting enough milk
    •    and more.

This session includes bottle feeding guidance.

Most importantly, as with all Blossom classes, there’s always plenty of time to ask questions at the end.  This class is suitable for expectant parents in the Queen’s Park area. It is recommended that the person who will support the pregnant mum in the early postnatal days also attends this class.

Cost: We offer this session for FREE as our vision is that all women are able to access free antenatal breastfeeding education.
