Life-changing for myself and my baby

Posted By triangulumfs78

"Life-changing for myself and my baby"

About: Fife Community Services / Breast Feeding Support Service

(as a service user),

The breastfeeding support team in Fife has been life changing for myself and my baby when she was born and in the first few months of her life. Vicki has visited us the day after we came home from hospital and several times afterwards, always immediately when I requested help in times of crises. I have also received telephone support on days when Vicki was not working. Without their dedicated and professional help and support, I would not have managed to stick with exclusively breastfeeding my baby and I am

sure that I would have ended up struggling with postnatal depression. My baby is now almost 8 months old and I owe a huge amount of gratitude to Vicki and the team for supporting us during our breastfeeding journey.
