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.

Hosted by an expert with over 20 years’ experience of working with Newborns & families as a Paediatric & Public health Nurse. Katie brings all her experience coupled with the practical tips as a mom of 4 to guide you on your parenting journey.

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.

I just did the Breastfeeding Preparation online class. I'm due my second baby in a few weeks and had some major issues with breastfeeding the first time around. This class really made me feel more prepared for handling the issues this time and I feel more confident to start this journey again. Katie is extremely informative, experienced and clearly knows her stuff. Thank you Katie!

Thoroughly enjoyed this Breastfeeding course. Katie is very passionate about her teachings and explains everything very clearly. She’s an expert in her field and helped me feel much more prepared for arrival of my first baby and how to go about breastfeeding. There’s lots to learn. Would recommend to everyone!

I started following Nursing Mama after my sister in law recommended her page. I attended Katie's breastfeeding class when I was 38 weeks pregnant. Looking back it was the best thing I did. Katie's knowledge in breastfeeding is exceptional. Her breastfeeding presentation and set up was very professional but also informative. I came away feeling very empowered and confident to begin my breastfeeding journey. 🙂

I am a third time mum and I’m so grateful for discovering Katie and her fantastic breastfeeding preparation class. My little girl had just turned 3 months and we have been exclusively breastfeeding for the last month and a half which I am extremely happy with as at this stage with my other 2 girls we had mostly switched to formula. I asked Katie for a private consultation also as the same issues came up at the start that I had faced before, but with her excellent advice and armed with all the knowledge gained from her class I felt better able to overcome these problems and am now really enjoying this breastfeeding journey.

Katie is such a lovely lady and was very supportive and knowledgeable. After a very rocky first few months I made contact with Katie who was amazing and helped get me on the best route for both myself and my little boy when at the time it looked as if our breastfeeding journey was going to come to an end. My biggest regret was that I hadn't made contact with Katie in the very early days when weight issues first arose.

I took Katie's breast feeding class and felt it was a really good class. The booklet sent out beforehand gave a good knowledge base. Katie was easy to relate to, she shared her own experiences to help illustrate points. There was plenty of time to ask questions during and after the class.

Katie has been a great help to me while breast feeding our son. We had a difficult start and without Katie I would not have been able to continue. She gave me confidence. I have recommended her to many of my friends. Katie has given me so much support in a kind and caring way. She came to our home, offered so much help and made me so relaxed. 9 months later and our journey continues.

We did Katie’s new born baby class. My husband found it very beneficial and we both feel more confident heading into parent hood. I would highly recommend to new parents where one or both are not used to been around baby’s or young children.

I had the pleasure to attend both of Kate’s online classes. She is an amazing tutor, her knowledge and way of exploration of all subjects was perfect. Definitely recommend to join Kate’s online classes and you must follow her on instagram, the latest posts with all tips are great to have on hand.

I recently attended Katie's online Newborn Care Class, which I found to be hugely beneficial to me as a first time mammy. Katie went into great depth detail in a 2 hour presentation where she provided exceptional knowledge on how to care for a newborn baby. Katie also provided excellent information on both formula and breast feeding. Katie structured her class in a very easy to follow step by step guide to the basics of newborn care from bathing a baby to umbilical cord care, and even common illnesses that newborns may be susceptible too. Katie's really is a fountain of knowledge & I am so glad I attended her class. I will not hesitate to contact Katie in the future if I should ever encounter any issues on my breastfeeding journey.

💥Every breastfeeding mother should be taught this before discharge from hospital💥 Honestly, breast compressions are a breastfeeding mothers best friend! They help to increase the volume of milk transferred to the baby during a feed. They can help to reduce prolonged feeds and keep a sleepy baby stimulated at the breast. They are such a fantastic tool that can be a game changer in the early days. Have you used them? #nursingmama #breastcompressions #breastfeeding #breastfeedingsupport #lactation #lactationexpert #IBCLC #lactationconsultant #newmom #newparent #lactationsupport #baby #babytips

There is no need to cut anything out of your diet because you are breastfeeding..... If you are a coffee lover like myself, then you can still enjoy yours. It is considered safe to have up to 300mg of caffeine daily while breastfeeding, which is about 2-3 cups of coffee/day. (CDC2020) A standard cup of coffee has about has about 96mg while a cup of tea has about 47mg. If you feel your intake may be affecting your baby, then consider substituting with decaffeinated coffee. Are you a coffee lover ☕️? It kept me functioning 🤣 #nursingmama #IBCLC #breastfeedingtips #breastfeeding #breastmilk #coffee #coffeelover #newparent #baby #newborn #lactation #lactationsupport #lactationconsultant consultant
