If you are expecting twins, triplets or more – congratulations!  You are about to join a very special group of Australian families. 

Women who are expecting more than one baby can feel many different emotions, often all at the same time! You may feel joy that you will be welcoming more than one baby to your family, but you may also be worried about how your pregnancy and birth will go, and how you will cope caring for your babies once you get them home. You may be wondering how you will feed your babies and if it is even possible to breastfeed more than one baby.

The good news is that it is not only possible, but many women before you have succeeded in breastfeeding multiple babies. We have drawn on their experience to create our special 'Breastfeeding Multiples' class.

In our Breastfeeding Multiples class you will learn about: 

• How breastfeeding works
• Positions for feeding two babies at once
• Overcoming challenges
• Managing the early weeks with your babies

We will also be having a Q&A session with Mums who have breastfed multiples.

Our classes are exclusive to new or existing Australian Breastfeeding Association members. If you are not a member please join prior to booking at:

There is a $20 fee for the class. Thanks to support from the ACT Government under the ACT Health Promotions Grants Program this class fee will be waived for Canberra and Region Multiple Birth Association (CARMBA) members. 

To join CARMBA please go here: http://www.carmba.org.au/membership 

CARMBA will send you a code to use on our booking site.

We encourage parents to attend while pregnant or early after the birth. Our classes aim to expand upon the knowledge gained at antenatal classes, to give up-to-date information and insights into breastfeeding more than one baby and how that impacts parenting in the early days.
