Led by our esteemed IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultants) experts, Yen and Yvonne, this crash course is designed to share invaluable knowledge, provide guidance, and empower you with the essential skills and confidence needed for successful breastfeeding.
The course dived deep into breastfeeding topics while not going too much into technical details, making it easy for me to understand. Yvonne was also very knowledgeable and friendly, frequently sharing from her own experiences and answering all our questions with patience.
Highly recommend the course! This course equip parents with the knowledge of breastfeeding and their application in real-life context. Parents get to check their own understanding through practical session under trainer’s guidance and interaction.
I’m a first time mother and also a working individual. This crash course was to-the-point yet informative, saved me a lot of time. Yvonne was also patient in her teaching methods and gave a lot of pointers as an experienced lactation consultant.
Part 1: Know Your Breastfeeding Basics
Part 2: Common Lactation Challenges
Part 3: Pumping/ Hand Expression
While you may already possess some basic knowledge or prior experience with breastfeeding, translating this ‘breastfeeding know-how’ to your newborn can often present challenges, especially in the crucial first weeks after bringing your baby home from the hospital. The #ASK-Madam-Partum Crash Course aims to address and tackle the most common challenges faced by mothers during this initial period. This includes dealing with severe engorgement, achieving “exclusive breastfeeding”, and implementing effective solutions to boost milk supply.
For mothers planning to adopt an “exclusive pumping” approach, Yen and Yvonne are on hand to listen to your concerns and tailor a pumping plan that aligns with your individual needs. Additionally, for those mothers preparing to return to work, our crash course offers practical guidance on how to balance work commitments with pumping. This includes maintaining milk supply while working, overcoming common challenges upon returning to work, and offering valuable tips and pumping plans tailored for various job roles, whether you’re an office professional, retail/service personnel, or constantly on-the-go.
