1-1 Breastfeeding Support

Instagram and Aunties might have you believing breastfeeding is straightforward and something that comes ‘naturally’. The truth is it takes preparation, practice and many parents have struggles. 

Getting some support with breastfeeding really can make all the difference to your feeding journey. 

Nationally there are some great services available such as La Leche League GB or the NCT infant feeding line and if you search locally you should be able to find in person groups.

You may find it useful to talk to a breastfeeding support professional if:

  • you are pregnant and would like to talk about preparing for breastfeeding

  • you’d like to express colostrum before baby is born (this can be really helpful for those diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes) 

  • you are feeding multiples

  • you are feeling pressured to bottle feed

  • you are worried about breastfeeding outside of the home

  • you’d like to discuss expressing milk and combination feeding 

  • you are having difficulties latching baby

  • you have sore breasts and/or nipples

  • you are struggling with breastfeeding positions 

  • you are worried about your milk supply
