All About Breastfeeding Workshop + Giveaway

As soon as you become pregnant, breastfeeding will be one of the regular discussions that you will be bringing up with your family, doctors and even on casual conversations with your mommy friends. Why? Because during our parents' time, breastfeeding was not the norm and until now I can still hear some naysayers about the challenges and unsuccessful stories on one's breastfeeding journey which might dishearten a first-time mom's capacity to breastfeed her child.

In order to ensure a smooth and doubt-free path to breastfeeding, I highly encourage one to attend workshops that could explain how breastfeeding works. This skill is not something innate to all women but rather takes a lot of determination, commitment and time to master the art of breastfeeding.

Here's an upcoming workshop on March 22 by Manila Workshops entitled All About Breastfeeding, part of the First Time Parents series of workshops. I hope you could take some time out and enrich yourself with knowledge about breastfeeding. I swear, you'll be amazed at how beautiful, natural and magical breastfeeding is. It's one of the best gifts that God has bestowed to us women that's why we must make good use of it.

    I wanted to attend the breastfeeding seminar because as a first time mom, I know that there are challenges in breastfeeding. I've been reading books and blogs about breastfeeding and I believe this seminar will be helpful for me not to give up easily on breastfeeding. This will surely be a wonderful learning experience for us since we always wanted the best for the coming of our baby boy :)

    Im joining because I want my cousin to attend this workshop, so she'd be able to breastfeed her 2nd baby. She tried with her 1st, but she wasnt very knowledgeable that time, & was led to believe she didnt have enough milk. I attended a class like this, so I was armed with info come delivery time, & was able to refuse the formula recommended by pedia with confidence. Id like to encourage my cousin to breastfeed, & I think this is the BEST way to do it =)
