Breastfeeding Workshop for Expectant Parents
About this event
Hello expectant parents,
You are invited to attend a workshop on breastfeeding multiple birth infants.
The workshop is designed specifically for multiples families and will cover the following topics:
- Establishing a healthy milk supply
- Introduction to expressing and lactation aids
- Logistics of feeding two babies – single vs tandem feeding, scheduled vs demand
- Managing the feeding of ‘early term’ and ‘preterm’ infants
- Supporting the breastfeeding mum of multiples
We are delighted to welcome Dr Sharon Perrella (Registered nurse, Registered Midwife, International Board Certified Lactation Consultant) to present.
She has extensive experience in caring for breastfeeding families in neonatal nurseries and in the community, and is now also a lactation researcher at The University of Western Australia.
Expectant mums are encouraged to bring their partner or support person to the workshop.
The workshop will be limited to 6 participants (+ their partners/support person).
We will require a minimum of 3 participants (+ their partners/support person) in order to run the workshop.
The registration fee is $40 for MBAWA members and $70 for non-MBAWA members.
Only one ticket purchase is required per couple/per mother + support person.
We look forward to seeing you there.
Please email Ailbhe on expectant@mbawa.org.au with any questions you may have.
