Feeding Your Baby

A day of caring workshops led by Liesel Burisch

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 is an inclusive workshop for people who wish to nurse/breastfeed/chestfeed, and/or their support networks.

The workshop offers foundational knowledge around the preparation, establishment and the 'everyday' of nursing infants in two parts.  Part one will focus on securing a transformative nursing experience alongside the logistical and emotional aspects of infant feeding. Part two (starting at 11:15) will explore the ending of nursing, through the unique methods of the phasing system, participants will be offered a kind, relaxed end to feeding without the culturally embedded and accepted long nights of crying and removal.

You can join for one or both parts of the workshop and are encouraged to bring anyone from your support network who plays or will play an important role in the establishment or ending of nursing/breastfeeding/chestfeeding.
