Breastfeeding support

Posted By SMC19

"Breastfeeding support"

About: Children’s Services / Health Visiting

(as a service user),

Our little boy is four weeks old and hasn’t been gaining weight as he should. We contacted Nicola the breastfeeding specialist and made an appointment with her to assess his feeding. Nicola was so supportive and helpful, she took time going through different things I could do to help his feeding and was very encouraging. Our little boy’s feeding has greatly improved and he is doing well. We are very thankful for the help we received from Nicola and the wonderful breastfeeding support service.

Thank you SMC19 for taking the time to share your experience and highlight the wonderful work our Infant Feeding Leads do.

I am so pleased to hear that you found your appointment a support and that your son is doing so well following this.

Our Infant Feeding Leads are dedicated to helping families continue with their breastfeeding journey and your feedback shows that we are achieving this.

I will share with Nicola and the rest of the team. Many thanks again and I wish you continued success with your breastfeeding journey.

Kind regards
