Breastfeeding courses

These courses are for those that want to learn about baby feeding and life with a new baby. As a result of the course parents will be in a better position for the mother to be able to breastfeed their baby if that is their wish. 

They are a chance for 6 to 8 women and their partners or supporters to meet and get to know an NCT Breastfeeding Counsellor. Here they learn about feeding and related matters and have a chance to think though their plans for feeding their baby. Parents will find out how to get individual support on baby feeding outside the course. Courses vary, but are expected to include a minimum of 3 two-hour sessions

Our courses all vary slightly because each course is designed around the group of people who are on the course to meet their needs. Most courses run as a set of sessions with the same group attending each session.

Parents will get to know others in a similar position and attendees often find the people they meet on these courses become an important support in the months and sometimes years after their babies are born.
