We covered BF really well at antenatal classes, but it probably depends on your class. My MW also gave me some really good DVDs (not that MOH one, far more instructive). ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

You could also try La Leche League - they have http://www.lalecheleague.org.nz/local-groups/north-island - local groups that meet for informal classes / support meetings. They are run by a trained BF educator. I contacted my local educator in Lower Hutt & she was really welcoming of expectant mums. Not sure what they are like, I am going to one in a couple of weeks. They might be less structured than a formal class, but also a great opportunity to meet other BF mums, get tips etc. ------------- http://alterna-tickers.com" rel="nofollow">  |

There are these but a bit out of your area.... http://www.mamalicious.co.nz/info/courses-for-pregnant-wome.aspx - classes
Other than your local hospital you may find a private lactation consultant running classes. ------------- http://lilypie.com">
