As a first time new mum I found breastfeeding extremely challenging. It all came to a head at around 7 weeks when as a last ditch attempt to continue I attended the Rothes Halls breastfeeding support group.
Lisa is an angel, incredibly compassionate and knowledgeable and I can say with absolute certainty I would not still be breastfeeding after several months if I hadn't met her.
The group is invaluable, I've met other mums when I felt so alone that have now become friends, something that is so critical as a first time mum with no close friends locally. My week revolves around my afternoon at the group and I know any issues I have, I can go to Lisa and she will be supportive and caring.
I honestly just wish there were more things available like this for post partum care. They could benefit women and new parents so much.
