Expecting a baby? Have you got questions about breastfeeding? Most babies breastfeed within an hour of being born, so it pays to learn what to do well before your baby is due. Come to a relaxed, information-packed Breastfeeding Education Class for expectant mothers and their partners!
Although breastfeeding is natural, it doesn't always come easily and is a learned art. Our classes aim is to provide expectant parents with the knowledge and confidence to successfully breastfeed.
Classes are designed for expectant parents to prepare for the vital days, weeks and months after your baby's birth.

Frequently Asked Questions
At what stage of my pregnancy should I attend a class?
Please consider a class during your second trimester – i.e. between weeks 13 and 24. This is to allow for your comfort and babies who arrive early. Of course, we are also happy to accommodate those further along than this! Please book early to avoid disappointment as places are limited and classes fill up quickly.
How long does a class go for?
Classes generally run for 3-4 hours, including a refreshment break.
Should my partner come too?
Absolutely! They might not be doing the breastfeeding, but can be your major support and it really helps for them to learn everything with you. If your partner is not able to attend, you are welcome to bring along another family member or support person.
How much does the class cost?
Our classes are exclusive to Australian Breastfeeding Association members. The cost of the class is only $20, plus annual membership of $70 if you haven't yet joined.
