At FAB, we believe that it is so important to get the knowledge and confidence for breastfeeding before baby is born! Knowing what to expect can make the hard days a little easier. We offer multiple ways to get antenatal support with us:
Online Antenatal Course – Our course offers evidence based information about, bonding with your bump, breastfeeding and what to expect in the early days. It includes videos demonstrating different breastfeeding positions, hand expression and short quizzes. We hope it will make life with a new baby a little easier! Find it here!
Face-to-face Antenatal Classes – These classes are a 5-week course which either run on a Wednesday evening or Saturday morning. They are a great tool for expectant families who want to meet other parents-to-be and prepare for baby, birth and breastfeeding! Face to face antenatal group sessions are available on a booking basis – please email antenatal@familiesandbabies.org.uk for more info on dates, times and any other questions you may have about the classes!
Antenatal One-to-ones – We offer individual antenatal sessions to discuss breastfeeding and answer any questions before baby arrives. These can take place in your home or at our base depending where you feel most comfortable and what is convenient for you! One-to-ones are available on a booking basis – please call our helpline on 01924 851901 to speak to a member of our admin team who can book you in!
24 hour helpline – Our 24 hour helpline is available to offer antenatal and postnatal support and information to mums over the telephone. Remember – no question is a silly question!
Breastfeeding Groups – We love to see expectant mums at our local breastfeeding groups where they can receive information and support with their decision to breastfeed.
