The Early Days Breastfeeding Planner Guide
Your Essential Companion for Early Breastfeeding Success
So, you’ve got your birth plan sorted, but what about your breastfeeding journey?
Countless seasoned mothers have expressed sentiments like, “I didn’t know breastfeeding would be so hard,” and “I wish I had known what to expect.” Our Breastfeeding Planner bridges this gap by providing the structure and support needed to help you navigate the early days of breastfeeding with confidence and ease, so you’re not grappling with it amidst the demands of newborn care.
In collaborative partnership with Mammae and The Womb Rooms, this exclusive Breastfeeding Planner offers expert advice - think of it as your “IBCLC in your pocket.” Use this in preparation to engage in meaningful conversations with your maternal care providers, communicate your breastfeeding goals effectively, and navigate the initial stages of breastfeeding with ease.
This essential Breastfeeding Planner is designed to help you understand where to start, what you can expect, what preferences and considerations to make, and how to navigate the complexities of early breastfeeding. It offers crucial insights that many seasoned mums wish they had known from the beginning. Our 27-page, bite-sized planner provides clear, concise, and actionable guidance, empowering you to make informed decisions for yourself and your baby during the critical early days postpartum.
As a first-time mum, you can achieve breastfeeding success with the right support and preparation. However, without this foundational knowledge, it can be challenging to ask the right questions and have the necessary conversations to prepare for a successful breastfeeding journey.
Don’t allow your breastfeeding preparation to be an afterthought. Empower yourself through education and begin your breastfeeding journey with confidence.
What's Inside
A beautifully designed 27-page digital PDF guide created to help mothers plan and prepare for the realities of early breastfeeding with confidence.
Inside you'll find evidence-informed education on milk production, newborn feeding behaviours, expressing and colostrum harvesting, realistic feeding expectations, signs of effective milk transfer, common early challenges, support planning, feeding preferences and practical preparation tools designed to help you feel informed before your baby arrives.
Created in collaboration with The Womb Rooms, this guide brings together trusted breastfeeding education in one accessible resource you can revisit throughout pregnancy and postpartum.
Why is this different
Most breastfeeding education arrives after a baby is born, often at a time when mothers are exhausted, overwhelmed and trying to learn in real time. The Early Days Breastfeeding Planner was created to shift that timeline.
Developed in collaboration with The Womb Rooms, this evidence-informed guide helps mothers prepare before birth, giving them the opportunity to understand the foundations of early breastfeeding, anticipate common challenges and make informed decisions before the early postpartum haze begins.
Because confidence doesn't come from having all the answers. It comes from feeling prepared before the questions arise.

Do You Have An Early Breastfeeding Plan?
Most mothers spend months preparing for labour and delivery but very few prepare for what comes after. Breastfeeding is one of the most important things you’ll do in those early postpartum days, yet it’s rarely given the attention and preparation it deserves until you’re already in the depths of navigating life with a newborn.
This evidence-informed 27 page digital guide brings together the practical education, preparation and confidence every mother deserves before her baby arrives. From understanding what to expect in the first hours and days, to clarifying your feeding preferences and recognising when additional support may be needed, it helps you approach breastfeeding feeling informed rather than overwhelmed.
Think of it as having a lactation consultant in your pocket — a trusted resource to help you understand your options, prepare for what lies ahead, and communicate your feeding goals with your partner, family and healthcare providers.
