Many parents only realize after the birth how little they actually knew about breastfeeding. When it hurts, doesn’t work as expected, or the baby struggles to gain weight, thoughts like “I should have prepared better,” “Why did nobody tell me this?” or “What’s wrong with my body?” can quickly take over. Breastfeeding is often portrayed as something that “just happens” — and that expectation can make the first days and weeks especially overwhelming when things don’t go smoothly. Without preparation, it’s hard to know what’s normal, when support is needed, and what you can realistically influence yourself.

​

Breastfeeding preparation creates exactly that missing foundation. I help you build realistic expectations, practical understanding, and confidence before your baby arrives. We talk through what a good start can look like, how to recognize effective feeding, and what to do when challenges come up. The goal isn’t perfection — it’s trust: in your body, in your baby, and in your ability to assess situations and seek support when needed. So instead of entering postpartum with anxiety or self-doubt, you step into it feeling “I know what to look for — and I can handle this.”
