Are you due a baby in the coming months?
Is this your first baby and feeling over whelmed with what happens after your baby is born?
Many first time parents have little or no experience of Newborns and so the early days and weeks can be very daunting and scary.
Katies class aims to help you as parents navigate the early days of parenthood as easily as possible in these challenging times.
As a Public Health Nurse, Katie sees how over whelmed Parents can be when they arrive home with their most precious bundle and realising they are on their own. No hospital buzzer to press, no Midwife coming in offering support.
Katie understands completely being a Mom to 4 kids. This led Katie to create a class tailored exclusively around the care of the Newborn. Starting with the basics of handling baby, nappy changing right up to vaccinations, common infant illnesses & more.
This is an intensive 2 hour class with plenty of time for questions.
This class is more in depth than any other class you will find advertised.

About Katie & Nursing Mama
Nursing Mama started out offering Breastfeeding Preparation classes locally in the Kildare area. Due to Covid, all support services for new parents stopped and so Nursing Mama moved online. The Newborn Care class was then created to support, educate & empower parents in Newborn Care. The Weaning Class quickly followed due to the increasing number of clients seeking help to stop Breastfeeding and has been very popular to date. Nursing Mama offers in person consults within Kildare, Dublin and online Worldwide.

Stopping breastfeeding was one of the hardest parts of breastfeeding on my 3rd baby.
Tom never took a bottle. He loved the boob but I knew it was the right time for us to stop. Tom had just turned 1, I felt ready, but I had no idea how to do it. I googled,I asked friends and colleagues, and most replies were ' just leave', ' let them cry', eventually they will feed a different way. This was not the way I wanted to end our feeding experience.
I just knew there had to be a better way, and so my research began. We know breastfeeding is not just about nutrition but comfort, too. If your child had lost their soother or teddy, you wouldn't just let them cry it out! You would try to replace it with another form or comfort.
Responding to your babys emotional needs is so important.
Join my Weaning from Breastfeeding workshop to learn how to stop breastfeeding in a gentle way for both you & baby. Live Q&A at the end, which allows you to give a snippet of your situation, and I will give you tips and advice specific to you.

Just to clarify, I am not recommending this for every feed.
The HSE clearly states that making up every feed indivisible best practice.
This is purely for a top-up bottle where the volume can change and leads parents running short and may end up skipping steps making up next feed as baby is looking for more.
Ensure good clean hygiene standards are met for making and storing bottle.
No bottle should touch baby's mouth and be kept afterwards
This is only for well, past term infants.
Hope this makes it clearer. ...
How to reduce your waste of formula when using top ups!
Many parents will opt for a ready-made formula, which is amazing but can be expensive.
Here's what you need to know if using a powdered formula to top up with.
Many parents make up more than required, and this leads to a huge amount of waste, so here's a simple tip for you!
Make up 1 or 2 full bottles of formula-
Fill the kettle, boil,wait for 30 minutes to allow the temperature to drop to about 70 degrees, and then add top sterile bottle. Add correct amount of scoops of formula to water ratio. Swirl to dissolve the powder in water. Cool rapidly, and then you can store in the fridge for 24 hours .
It is important that the bottle is made up and stored correctly and only lasts for 24 hours and discarded if not used.
Use this bottle to pour into a separate bottle for the top-up.
Hope you find this helpful!
