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.

💥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?

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 🤣
