The Bearing Light Breastfeeding Foundation Course is a complete, self-paced antenatal and postnatal feeding course for parents who want to actually understand breastfeeding, not just survive it.
Whether you're pregnant and preparing, or in the early weeks and looking for answers at 3am, this course gives you everything most antenatal classes leave out. Inside, you'll find the physiology of how milk is actually made and removed, what a good latch looks like and how to troubleshoot one that isn't, what each stage of a feed means and how to read your baby's cues without second-guessing yourself. You'll learn the techniques that genuinely matter: reverse pressure softening, breast compressions, paced bottle feeding, hand expression, biological nurturing positions, taught in detail, with step-by-step instructions, the physiology behind why they work, and when to reach for each one.
It covers what to expect in the first hour, the first night, the first two weeks and beyond. You'll find clear, evidence-based guidance on engorgement, blocked ducts, mastitis (with the updated 2022 ABM protocol), nipple pain, low supply, oversupply, sleepy babies, fussy feeders, growth spurts and the moments that feel like things are going wrong but usually aren't. There's a dedicated Special Topics module on returning to work, combination feeding, introducing solid foods, weaning and feeding through illness.
And there's a built-in interactive Troubleshooting tool with 50+ scenarios, so when something specific comes up, you can find an answer fast.
The course is written in plain, warm language: no jargon, no fear-based messaging, no being told what you "should" do. The aim is to give you genuine understanding, so you can make informed decisions that work for you and your baby.
Lifetime access. Self-paced. Designed to be used both in pregnancy and after baby arrives. Because the questions change, but the answers stay close to hand.
