For situations like this, I suggest booking a private Antenatal consultation or Private Education session. When we have known obstacles to breastfeeding, having a plan can make a huge difference!

What if I can’t attend the group class?
If you prefer personalised support, you can book a private session instead, where we can focus on your specific breastfeeding concerns.
