When you are in the thick of it with your new baby it can feel a little overwhelming, but we want you to know that you’re not alone. We are here to support your individual journey each step of the way.
Those early days can become a bit of a blur so it’s helpful to know what normal newborn behaviour looks like and this often isn’t information that NHS maternity services will offer out. The population-level advice that is dished out is often based on formula-fed babies, rather than breastfed babies, so it’s inaccurate and can be detrimental to a woman’s breastfeeding journey.
If you are finding feeding difficult, or just want some reassurance that you’re doing a great job, one of our breastfeeding support sessions might be what you’re looking for.
If you had a difficult birth and you would like to talk about this, have a look at our Holding Space sessions. We know that how a woman gave birth can have an impact on how she feels about breastfeeding, so this might be a useful step in your journey.
We have funding options available for anyone who would be unable to pay the fee – if this would be a barrier for you please get in touch.
