Breast milk is the ideal first food for a baby. It's safe, clean and contains antibodies which protect against dangerous illnesses.

✅ Start within 1 hour after birth, if possible 🤱
✅ Breastfeed exclusively for the first 6 months 🤱
✅ Continue alongside healthy family foods until the baby is at least 2 years old 🤱

Why bother joining one of our antenatal breastfeeding classes? Is there really any point if you are already attending antenatal classes? Well, the research says yes!

Studies indicate that parents who receive antenatal breastfeeding education are more likely to breastfeed and may breastfeed for longer.

When you join our classes you will also be connected with a named breastfeeding peer supporter who can answer your questions before and after your baby is born. And of course, you can always come into see us at The Breast Room.

Newborn Stomach Capacity

Day 1: 5–7 ml (0.1–0.2 oz) – about the size of a cherry
Day 3: 22–27 ml (0.8–1 oz) – about the size of a walnut
Week 1: 45–60 ml (1.5–2 oz) – about the size of an apricot
1 Month: 80–150 ml (2.5–5 oz) – about the size of a large egg
By one month, most lactating parents are producing close to the full amount of milk their baby will ever need.

Even as your baby grows, the total daily volume of milk stays about the same from one month onward. What does change is the feeding pattern—how often and how long your baby nurses may shift, but the overall intake remains steady.
