Baby 2 - 1st seminar : Pigeon Breastfeeding 7May 2016

What attract to me to join this :

1) breastfeeding - 1st baby failed so I hope 2nd baby would be successful.

My friend attended this seminar before & she has breastfeed for 2yrs ++ until she decide to stop so decide to give it a try

2)cheap fees with lunch & goodies bag

Cost : 1pax $20, 2pax $25 only 1 goodies bag

So pay $5 more for husband to sit in listen with me & enjoy lunch buffet.

Timing a bit long I guess breastfeeding is not an easy task so decide to give it a try.

Realise Breastfeeding is just a part of the workshop ...there are different topics cover like :

1)Taking care of BB

2)Different illness which newborn will be encounter

3)BB massage

Table , paper , pen are provided for us to write down the notes.

Lunch time: 

This is  my portion as I cant take fish & beef which are the meat of this seminar.

Luckily the soup & fusilli are nice .

 This is my husband one-lucky i bring him to help me eat :P

There are beef which I didnt take due to religion reason.

 Fish : I cant take it sadly

 Salad session: 
 I also didnt take it because pregnant not suppose to eat raw food

Snack session : serve at all times - curry puff, sandwiches etc 

This hotel serve very nice coffee & TWG tea.. too bad I cant drink more because of my pregnancy.

My personal comments after the workshop:

1)Useful for new parents & for those who dont have time to attend the childbirth workshop.

2)The taking care of bb from Mount A is very detailed or lengthy if I compare with TMC childbirth education course...personally prefer TMC.

There is a part - bathing time
The speaker mention few times to wash the hand before cleanse the bb.

When bb finish his head washing, the speaker mentioned "ask someone to look after the bb while u wash again your hand before bath bb".

Personally feel usually only 1 person do the washing, not every time will have another person to be around + bb bathing need 2 person?

I didnt recall TMC course bathing part need 2 person to bath BB

3) The food is not full for me as I cant take beef & fish...maybe the organiser should consider about participant religion.

4)Hot water is always available for pregnant so I think this is a plus point

5)Lunch time is only 45mins- consider short, imagine everything need to queue - food & toilet breaks

6)Personally prefer the workshop session shorter instead.

Overall it is still good for value if you have time.
