‘THRIVING IN THE FIRST YEAR’ PARENTING SERIES (ONLINE)
WORKSHOP #5: Transitioning Back to Paid Work
Join us this March Break for a deep dive into everything parenting! Each day will host a session aimed to help you make the best most informed choices possible throughout the first few years of your baby’s life.
Transitioning Back to Paid Work
It’s just around the corner… time to go back to work! You know your babies routine, what they like and how to get them to sleep. How is someone else going to manage all of this? What should you do to prepare for this transition? How much milk should they drink while in someone else’s care? Do I have to wean from Breastfeeding? How can I make the separation easier for my baby (and me!)? Join me for this workshop, to make this next step as anxiety-free as possible for you and your baby.

‘Thriving in the First Year’ series synopsis
Parenting can be tough, but you don’t have to be! In this series, we will learn how to navigate the most common parenting topics and challenges while maintaining our intuition wisdom and connection.
We will start on Monday with Breastfeeding Basics, to help expecting families or those struggling with breastfeeding get off to the best start possible – or to improve on where you are! Our next session will focus on connection in both responsive feeding techniques and in babywearing to provide closeness and security. The aim is to help create connection and healthy relationships with food from the very start – for all feeding types and abilities. Wednesday will bring us together to discuss biologically normal infant sleep needs, and how to bring more connection into your relationship to your baby’s sleep. We will then discuss starting solid foods and Baby Led weaning, learning how to use the division of responsibility in infant feeding to guide healthy eating and then end the week with a chat about returning to work! This will include how to get through finding care, easing into care, and preparing your self (Yes YOU! You are important too!) for the transition back to work while maintain that beautiful attachment you have built with your little one.
