Breastfeeding is universally recommended by birthing professionals, but worry and unrealistic expectations mean that many women struggle to establish and continue breastfeeding - in fact, only 4 out of 10 mums breastfeed exclusively even for the first week. Difficulties are often due to the mother feeling tense and worried about doing it right or not producing enough milk, not following the natural cues and rhythms of her baby's need to feed, and not eating and drinking properly. In a vicious cycle, the anxiety caused by struggling to breastfeed affects the mum's production of milk. Only when a mum relaxes, trusts her body and responds to her baby's needs does breastfeeding become easier and more enjoyable.
Natal HypnotherapyTM's new Breastfeeding Companion CD addresses this extremely widespread problem, and is specially designed to guide and support you through the process of breastfeeding. Through deep relaxation, breathing exercises, practical advice and guided visualisations of comfortable and successful breastfeeding, this effective self-hypnosis audio CD increases your confidence and ability to breastfeed.
Benefits of listening to the Breastfeeding Companion CD
The CD helps you to:
- Let go of any anxiety about breastfeeding and feel more relaxed and confident before, during, and after feeding.
- Increase belief in your body's ability to breastfeed successfully.
- Tune into your baby's signals and feeding needs.
- Maintain a healthy lifestyle and high energy while breastfeeding your baby.
- Enjoy breastfeeding, feel comfortable, and bond with your baby.
I have been using the relaxation techniques from the CD during feeds - it works brilliantly! The CD helped me to relax and feel more positive and really helped me to regain faith in my body.'

When to listen to this CD
From birth onwards, or even in the very final weeks of pregnancy.
How does it work?
The CD has two main sections, with a brief introduction on how to get the most out of the CD.
The first section is a full hypnosis session intended for you to listen to by yourself in the first few weeks of motherhood so you can really let go and relax. This session also puts in place plenty of practical suggestions that will help you when you come to breastfeeding your baby. The second section is a relaxation and guidance session to be used while breastfeeding your baby. This session guides you through the breastfeeding process, giving you time to settle down with your baby and helping you to keep relaxed throughout.
