Breastfeeding and Postnatal Preparation Course (private)

We base the course on the same teaching material as for larger groups, but since this is an individual course, we have the opportunity to go deeper into different topics according to your wishes and needs. The course is held by an experienced midwife.

The postnatal/postpartum period (the first 6-8 weeks after birth) is a fantastic but also vulnerable time. Greet this life changing time with confidence. We give you the knowledge about what to expect in the first 6 weeks after labor, normal newborn behaviour, how to succeed with breastfeeding and how to cope with common breastfeeding issues. We explain what happens in the postpartum body, why skin-to-skin contact is important and how to understand your baby’s needs. We also talk about the love relationship and contraception.

The course is taken during your pregnancy, so that you can be prepared for breastfeeding and the arrival of your baby. The course is important for both you and your partner.

We hope to give you the necessary knowledge to get the best possible start as parents.

The course covers the following subjects:

• The postpartum period 
• Expectations 
• The mother’s body
• The newborn baby
• The 4th trimester
