This one-to-one pregnancy feeding masterclass is designed to help you feel informed, prepared and confident about feeding your baby when they arrive.

I give insightful tips on navigating NHS maternity and how to still reach your feeding goals.
Whether you are planning to breastfeed, bottle feed or combine feeding methods, this session supports you to understand what to expect in the early days and how to get feeding off to the best possible start. Together, we will talk through your plans, previous experiences (if relevant), and any concerns you may have, helping you feel calm and well-prepared for birth and beyond.
This masterclass lasts up to 90 minutes and includes practical guidance, reassurance and clear explanations in a relaxed, supportive setting.
I strongly encourage partners, family members or close supporters to attend if possible. I discuss ways they can support breastfeeding. An informed support network can make a significant difference to a mother’s confidence and experience when establishing feeding.
