Positive Birth Jersey is excited to offer the latest postnatal preparation course - The Positive Birth Jersey Mindful Breastfeeding, Postnatal and Parenthood Preparation programme! Preparing for life with a new little baby can be exciting, daunting and a little overwhelming - but our course is here to help. This 3.5 hour course is the perfect 'add-on' to your Hypnobirthing course, or suitable as a stand alone course too. Delivered by qualified Mindful Breastfeeding Practitioners, feel confident and prepared as you discover what to expect in the early days with a newborn!
​​
What's covered?
​​
Breastfeeding in-depth: normal newborn feeding behaviour, effective positioning and attachment, recognising a 'good latch', commonly encountered breastfeeding issues and the importance of hormones during breastfeeding.​
​​
Basic newborn care, including: nappy changing, bathing and swaddling.
​​
Normal newborn behaviour, including: baby's cues and signals, sleep, feeding and growth spurts.
​​
Rewriting your thought processes about parenthood: challenging what society says about how we should be parenting! What's right for YOU and your baby? Includes self-care, support for new families and relaxation/mindfulness techniques for early parenthood. We will look at ways you can connect more deeply with your new baby.
The Fourth Trimester: the trimester that no one tells you about! What to expect both physically and emotionally during the first few weeks of parenthood.
​
Who can do the course?
​
This course is suitable for everyone - whether you are already signed up to a Positive Birth Jersey Hypnobirthing course or not. Take the opportunity to meet other like-minded parents and gain a greater depth of knowledge about life after birth! You can attend the course as a couple, or on your own - we don't mind!
