‘I wish I had prepared for the postnatal period as much as I prepared for my birth.’
I hear this comment from SO many women and partners and have specifically created this course to help you feel confident and supported as you transition into your new role as parents!
Did you know that while 96% of Australian women initiate breastfeeding, but by three months of age only 39% are still exclusively breastfeeding? This is a shocking statistic and one I am passionate about improving!
Introducing the Positive Breastfeeding + Postnatal Course...
Research indicates that quality education during pregnancy can improve both the initiation of breastfeeding and also the duration of succesful breastfeeding. Let's get you set up for success!
In my online course I will teach you what you need to know about breastfeeding, normal newborn behaviour, settling techniques and how to care for your baby. But we will also go further into why so many women and partners find this stage challenging and what you can do to set yourself up for success.
Each module contains a training video from Hannah, plus written content which you can work through in your own time. There is over THREE hours of video content in this course, where Hannah shares with you everything you need to know in those first few weeks with your baby.
As part of the course you will receive access to Online Resources - including a Postpartum Cheat Sheet, Relaxation Audio tracks, printable Affirmations a lots more.
PLUS you will have access to guest interviews where Hannah chats with a paediatric dietician, naturopath and nutritionist.
This course is about supporting you to achieve your own goals and to feel confident and supported during your postnatal period. Let's set you up for success!
When should I complete the course?
Ideally I recommend to complete the course around 32-37 weeks of pregnancy. However, you can join at anytime in pregnancy or in the first six weeks after birth.
How long will I have access to the course?
12 months from the day you sign up!
Is the course suitable if it's not my first baby?
Absolutely! If you struggled with breastfeeding or in the first few weeks with your first baby then this information will be very relevant to you.
Should my partner watch the content with me?
I recommend partners watch the breastfeeding and partner support modules, however they can absolutely complete the full course with you. The partner support module is specifically designed for partners so they know how they can support you.
Can I purchase the course for a friend?
What a thoughtful gift! Absolutely - use their name and email to sign up!
