MonthlyAntenatal Breastfeeding Workshop
Notice: The session is interactive and specific to York families, so we do need to limit the number of places available; therefore we can only accept bookings from people in the local area.
Thinking about breastfeeding? Come to one of our antenatal workshops
Treasure Chest volunteers run free monthly antenatal breastfeeding workshops where you can attend to gain a better insight of how to get off to a good start with breastfeeding your new baby.
We will also signpost where to find help and support in the local area just in case you need it.
Hear from practitioners
Our workshops give you the opportunity to explore the reasons why breastfeeding is a great way to feed your baby, or babies! We will let you know what to expect covering everything from the first feed to breastfeeding in public and expressing.
Ask questions
Finally, there is the opportunity to talk to a breastfeeding parent about their experiences and ask any questions you may have. A partner/family member/friend is welcome to join you too, so you both have the opportunity to find out more and prepare before your baby arrives.
How to book
Select your preferred date and register for your ‘ticket’. This will include a place for you and your partner/supporter.
Workshops begin promptly at 9:30am, and run until 1pm ( there will be breaks)
We try to accommodate as many people as possible onto each workshop but due to limited numbers, please try to book ahead to attend when you are around 30-36 weeks pregnant, although you can book during any stage of your pregnancy. We can only accept bookings from people living in the York area.
We run our workshops free of charge so that they are accessible to everyone, but if you are able to make a donation, no matter how small, it is gratefully appreciated.
What do families say about our antenatal workshops
Have you been to a session? Have your say here.
Many, many thanks for a fab workshop. Really appreciate you taking us through it live, and my husband especially felt like he got a lot out of it. Gave us some really good things to discuss, which reinforced everything we’re preparing to do. Invaluable workshop.
Thank you for providing such great information on today’s course. Everything you said was very valuable and I would never have thought of half of the things you mentioned! I feel so much more prepared now. Thank you.
I just wanted to drop you a quick note to say how fantastic my husband and I thought the Antenatal workshop was. My husband was very apprehensive about coming, however both of us found it the most helpful 3 hours of our pregnancy so far! We’re expecting first little boy in July and are now feeling far more prepared for or breastfeeding journey, particularly my husband who is now feeling far more informed on how he can also play a huge part in the success of this. Thank you again and I hope to bump into some of the Treasure Chest team after we’ve had our little boy. We can’t thank you enough for the positive information and guidance you’ve given us.
