"They could not do enough for us"

About: Children & Young People Physical Health / Doncaster Health Visitors 0-5

(as a service user),

We were transferred to the HV infant feeding group from the midwife group / joint group.

Claire continued to support with latching whilst BF / and advice with combi feeding. We were referred for tongue tie though this clinic which helped with feeding and continued support with this.

We were then identified through the hospital as CMPA, following being unwell but this also linked with the difficulties we had in weight gaining... The clinic was never judgemental and always supportive and approachable.

Claire and the team continued to monitor and support with weight and milk supply (prescription milk) though this journey and supported with the dietician referral

They could not do enough for us!

Today - my little girl graduated from the clinic, with a constant weight gain

Hi Lucy S,

Thank you very much for taking the time to share your feeding journey with us, it sounds like you had a really tough start!

I am so pleased to hear that Claire and the team have been a great support for you, I really appreciate you providing this feedback and I know Claire will too - I will make sure that this is shared with her.

I wish you all the best with the rest of your feeding journey:)

Warm regards

Theresa Nicol
