Participants’ reviews

  • “The topics such as fourth trimester, responsive parenting and how partners can help (on top of breastfeeding) is refreshing and less common in Singapore, hence I decided to sign up for it. The class was really well-organized from start to end, and I was glad for the cosy setting to meet with other couples and learn together. After the class, I feel more prepared and confident to breastfeed my baby in future. My partner and I also have a better idea how to support each other through this journey.”

    First time mother to be, 32 weeks pregnant

  • "I enjoyed Eliza's workshop. The way she delivered the workshop felt very personal because she is a recent mother and she have her own experiences to share. She made me felt like she wanted us to win at parenting and breastfeeding. I like how she infused parenthood and a few real-life scenarios. It made us apply what we learned and also made the knowledge very real. Overall, amazing class! I will definitely recommend to other mummies!”

    Ariel T.

  • “The breastfeeding pros and cons was laid out very well. I was not someone who likes to attend classes. Now that I have attended this workshop and went through a few real-life scenarios, I kind of know how to deal with it at least. And, don’t feel that husbands are not needed in a breastfeeding workshop, it does not work that way. Breastfeeding is team work.”

    Ken, husband to a 39 weeks pregnant wife

  • “A lot of my friends do pumping, not a lot of my friends direct latch, so the practical part like breastfeeding positions and understanding the importance of deep latch and all, are very informative and beneficial for me. I recommend parents-to-be to attend this workshop. It is a lot better than reading online resources.”

    Jessica, 39 weeks pregnant

  • “I have gained a lot of knowledge from this workshop! Pace was good, Eliza did not rush through anything and explained everything well. I had zero knowledge about breastfeeding and it is my first child. And I love the reminders throughout the course that all babies are different and that all of us are taking on a new role in life so don’t stress yourself. Thanks Eliza!”

    Christina

  • "If you are into a more not so tensed-up course, this is the course to attend! Filled with fun and interactive activities by Eliza!"

 FAQs

  • Depending on the workshop, the minimum is usually 5 couples or 10 pax.

  • It used to be at my house. Now, it is at an external venue around Penang Road (Nearest MRT: Dhoby Ghaut MRT).

  • I would highly encourage for you to attend with your partner, but you are still welcomed to participate by yourself.

    For single-mums, do feel free to attend with a trusted family member whom will be mostly by your side at home with baby. Otherwise, you are still welcomed to participate by yourself.

  • To ensure a conducive environment for everyone, no kids are allowed.

    If you’re super keen to attend this workshop and are unable to find caregivers for your older child, do reach out to me to work something out with the venue.

  • No.

    There are tons of antennal classes out there to prepare you for birth and labour. I would suggest you to attend a prenatal birth class that is taught by a birth doula, whom is highly certified to educate parents on this topic.

    To learn swaddling, bathing, burping and changing diaper for a newborn comes with just a few days of practice in the hospital and at home. The nurses at the hospital will demonstrate to you upon request, or you can join an antenatal class from hospitals.

  • No refunds are allowed.

    You may transfer your slot to another person, whom you have to find on your own accord, or use the fees you have paid to offset any upcoming classes or a lactation consultation.

  • If in any event that you cannot attend the class, you can either transfer your slot to another person, whom you have to find on your own accord, or use the fees you have paid to offset any upcoming classes or a lactation consultation.

Venue Sponsor
