"Breastfeeding support"

After having a very successful breastfeeding journey with my first baby, I was looking forward to experiencing this again with my second. Unfortunately me and baby struggled with finding our feet in the first few weeks. I felt deflated and my confidence was knocked a bit. I was aware of the feeding support worker service but was hesitant to reach out as I felt I should know how to troubleshoot myself from previous experience. 

A few weeks in I decided to contact Lana to discuss where improvements could be made. Lana is so friendly and passionate about her job. I couldn’t have felt less of a burden. Lana was clearly very knowledgeable and explained all advice in simple terms. Lana was able to demonstrate positioning to improve my baby’s latch and advice on how to prevent issues in the future. Lana kept in contact with weekly check ins and was also a huge help when I decided to express milk as she was able to advise schedules and methods as well as guidance on safe storage. 

I also regularly attend the baby group held by the team and look forward to this as it is such a friendly and relaxed environment where I can discuss any queries which have rose through the week without fear of judgement!
