Antenatal Breastfeeding Preparation Workshop
This is a 2 day workshop for expectant families. In person and online batches are conducted each month mostly on the last Friday and Saturday of the month.
Families often report not getting correct, appropriate, timely information and support in hospitals at the time of childbirth and that often compromises their breastfeeding journey. The aim of this workshop is to empower families with knowledge and skills so that they are able to take informed feeding decisions.

So many families face challenges while breastfeeding and more often than not its because of either lack of knowledge / skills or lack of timely support. Breastfeeding is a learned skill and often we imbibe what we see around us. Our current breastfeeding rates are not very great and you will not find many people around you who have exclusively breastfed their babies for the first 6 months thus creating many doubts and confusions in your mind. It helps to get an idea about the true facts and science of breastfeeding and also know that our healthcare system mostly lacks in providing skilled healthcare support to breastfeeding / nursing families.
Becoming parents is a beautiful journey and like any other journey it helps to be prepared in advance! Your family needs to be prepared for the Breastfeeding and Parenting Journey you will embark on the moment your baby arrives! To be prepared one needs to acquire knowledge as well as learn practical skills.One needs to know what to expect, and also have a plan B.
