Hello everyone,
My name is Mary, I am Dutch and live with my family (husband and three children) in the Dominican Republic since 2001.
I am a Breastfeeding Counsellor and would like to present you this unique initiative now available in this country.
I founded a Breastfeeding Support Group in Santo Domingo (where I live).
The Breastfeeding Support Group offers English spoken Prenatal Breastfeeding preparation classes for couples and Mother to Mother Breastfeeding Support Group get-togethers for breastfeeding mothers.
Many (foreign) baby's are born here and I know that many of the (foreign) women miss the supportive network of their friends and family back home.
The Breastfeeding Support Group can be a meaningfull and valuable supporting network in this country and women enjoy the get-togethers while they breastfeed their child.
Pregnant women and their partner can participate in the Breastfeeding preparation class. Topics will be:
*Benefits of human milk
*Anatomy and physiology of the breast
*Correct positioning and latch-on
*Tips for dads
*Recognizing barriers, concerns and overcoming difficulties
*Pumping, storing and handling human milk
*Working and Breastfeeding
*Being hospitalised and starting out right!
*Dominican Law on Breastfeeding (right to Breastfeed).
etc, etc.
Participating parents recieve a "Breastfeeding Booklet to Succes" that will provide you with background information, articles and a Daily Log for the first weeks with your baby that will guide you through the first weeks of parenthood.
It is recommended to enter Prenatal Breastfeeding Classes during your last trimester of pregnancy. The cost will be RD$ 1000,- (three weekly evening sessions including the Booklet to succes)
Joining the classes is a great opportunity to meet other couples in the same stage of life like yours, interested in the same topics!
Do you need more information or do you wish to register for the Breastfeeding classes, interested to join the Mother to Mother Breastfeeding Support group, please call me:
New classes will start soon!
