Welcome to our Rock the Cradle Breastfeeding Masterclass! I am thrilled that you are here - it shows that you are curious and want to learn all that you can before your parenting journey begins!
Here's a sneak peak of Lesson #2. We're giving you the first 5 minutes for free. Watch out! You will be left with wanting more.
A little bit more about your instructor and the importance of being knowledgeable.
There are many breastfeeding positions to choose from and once you know your baby, you’ll quickly figure out what positions you both like best. It’s also best to change positions at different feeds so that your breasts fully empty and you avoid issues such as blocked ducts and mastitis.
My favourite position of all time? SIDE-LYING. Learn how to do it in this module.
If you breastfeed, you may want to provide your baby with a bottle once a day when they’re between 4-6 weeks. Your options are either pumping your milk or using formula.
Some families will start baby off on bottles with formula immediately instead of breastfeeding.
In this lesson, we’ll discuss the how-to’s of pumping as well as using bottles.
You may have friends or a sister who’s dealt with issues such as mastitis. They’re right - it’s no fun.
In this lesson, I discuss other issues that you may encounter and the best course of action to take when you suspect something’s not right.

Breastfeeding is such an amazing way to feed your baby as well as bond with them!
While it is natural, however, many women worry about being able to breastfeed their baby. Are you worried that it will be painful? Are you worried about having enough milk supply? How do you know if your baby is getting enough milk? Do you need to pump?
As a team, our Doulas have breastfed a total of eleven babies. If we calculate the number of years, it’s almost 20 years of breastfeeding!
In this course, you will learn the basics of breastfeeding, including:
When to start breastfeeding
Setting up your breastfeeding stations
What is a good latch
Various breastfeeding positions
How to know if baby is getting enough
Burping baby
Troubleshooting any issues that arise, such as cracked and bleeding nipples, mastitis and thrush
And just because you’re breastfeeding, it doesn’t mean baby won’t take any bottles, so we also include information about:
Pumping
Bottle feeding
It’s important to be knowledgeable about breastfeeding before having your baby, so these modules can be watched before you have your baby, as well as during your breastfeeding journey.
