I have had lots of support from the breastfeeding support workers over the years, most recently with my youngest son who is now 12 months old. I had a lot of support with my eldest too.
This time feeding was particularly challenging - tongue tie, pain, concerns over weight gain. It took a massive toll on my mental health.
I initially received a phone call and them multiple in person home visits to check his feeding and support me with position and attachment, maximising milk transfer and looking for signs feeding was going well.
We are breastfeeding still at 1 year, and I fed my oldest for 4 years. I can confidently say without the support from the team that would not have happened.
They are angels. They are fantastic. The service is beyond invaluable and amazing for breastfeeding parents.
