"We Had Twins!"

About: Health visiting / Infant Feeding Team

(as the patient),

We had twins in June and everything was going great. As time progressed we found it difficult to provide enough milk for both and one was having difficulty latching.

It was in fact the same day after we were referred to the lactation service that Jo called and came out to us and gave us all the support we needed.

Their service provided a milk pumping machine (on free loan) and the expertise, support and advice were exemplary and second to none. Jo is an asset to the service.

Such service are so beneficial to new overwhelmed parents and couldn't recommend highly enough.

Dear charliepy99

Breastfeeding twins is such a challenge and an amazing achievement for you. I am so pleased to hear that Jo and the breast pump service was able to support you to have a positive outcome. I will share your review with Jo I am sure she will be delighted to hear how supportive you found her help. I hope your breastfeeding journey continues to be a great experience.

Kind regards
