How Can I Help?
How to support someone who is planning to nurse or is nursing
We're delighted to welcome Liesel Burisch, an expert in queer nursing and family support, to DCA for a series of supportive, inclusive workshops on the topic of nursing. This inclusive workshop is for friends, family members and lovers of people who wish to nurse/breastfeed/chestfeed.
The focus is on how to support someone who is planning to nurse or nursing. Starting with assessing what nursing entails, we will go through the importance of support by highlighting all the ways your surroundings can enforce a positive nursing outcome. We will go through the most common (and if necessary, uncommon) challenges around nursing and build individual knowledge banks for all participants to leave the workshop feeling confident and excited about being there for their loved one(s).
People who are planning to nurse or who are nursing/breastfeeding/chestfeeding are welcome as quiet observers.
