"Go out of their way to help and advise"

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

(as a service user),

The Breast Start groups are simply amazing.

The support you recieve and how welcomed you feel by the team is superb! Claire ran an absolutely tremendous group at Armthorpe thanks to support we've had and friends we've made. Claire and Beth who now runs the group will go out of their way to help and advise and it's amazing to know this local group was there every Thursday during our feeding journey struggles at the beginning.

I don't know how I'd have coped and succeeded as well as we did without the group and Claire. We still attend regularly and aim to as long as our Breastfeeding journey continues. I hope this group will continue to be available for a long time to come supporting other breastfeeding mothers.

Thank you!
