Welcome to Module Three – The Fourth Trimester!

Upon completion of this module, you will have been introduced to how to support a nursing parent to position their baby comfortably at the chest/breast.

You will understand why some positions may be more suitable than others, depending on factors such as body and breast size or shape.

Building on the knowledge and information you acquired in Modules One and Two, you will be able to provide person-centered and Baby-Friendly support for your clients.

You will continue to expand your knowledge around what constitutes effective attachment at the breast, with an in-depth understanding of how this impacts on milk transfer.

You already have a good understanding of the role of hand expressing both pre and post-birth and the need to ensure early and frequent feeds to establish milk supply in the early postnatal period.  You will now expand on what you have learned and apply the principles to the establishment of breastfeeding so that this relationship can thrive.

You will also explore mixed and artificial feeding, enabling you to support your clients with all their feeding choices.
