Preston
13:00 – 16:00
Expectant parents and new parents welcome — bring your bubs! Ever been to a breastfeeding info session that covers all the tips for feeding one baby, but leaves you wondering how on earth to manage feeding two (or more)? You're not alone — and this session is for you! Whether you’re still expecting or your babies have already arrived, join us for a supportive, practical, and honest session all about feeding multiples — from the early days and beyond. Venue details are shared on the Facebook Event for members. If you don't have access to our Facebook event, please email events@nimba.amba.org.au for further information.   The Presenter: Simone brings a wealth of knowledge and experience supporting families with twins and more. She’ll guide you through what feeding might look like in the early days depending on gestation, birth weight, and feeding goals — whether that’s exclusive breastfeeding, mixed feeding, or a combination that works for your family.  The Session: Simone’s talk will be divided into two parts:  Schedule: *Antenatal (1:00 - 2.00pm): Preparing for feeding, understanding what to expect, and planning ahead * Break (2:00pm - 2:15pm) *Postnatal (2:15 – 3:30 PM) : Practical tips, positions, gadgets, and real-life strategies for feeding two babies at once *Questions (3:30 – 4:00 PM) : Question time! We’ll explore: - Setting up for feeds - Holding and positioning two babies - Managing supply for multiples - Useful equipment and gadgets - When and how to express or combine feeds - Realistic support you may need  Questions? There’ll also be plenty of time for questions — so bring yours along!  Some light refreshments will be provided Please RSVP buy purchasing a 'Free Ticket' on Tidy HQ.
