"Help with breast feeding"

About: Eastwood Children's Centre

(as a service user),

I didn't have any knowledge of breastfeeding other than knowing that it's the best and the disappointment that my mum felt that she couldn't do it, so I learnt as much as I could and then still found it overwhelming at first. Feeding support worker suggested babes and it's been a brilliant group offering knowledge and support, without the knowledge I've gained I don't know if I would be as confident as I am to natural term feed. 

The group is also great to chat with other mums and for my little one to interact with other children as all my friends has children years ago and are back where I come from so it was all a little isolating at first. Through babes I have also discovered the sensory room at the centre which is a lovely place to go and the bundle of fun group is lovely especially the sing song at the end.

Dear MrsMouse,

Thank you for taking the time to post your comments on this forum, all comments are appreciated and help us to shape our services around our service users.

It sounds like you have been on a great journey to research all you could to develop your understanding of breast feeding, well done!

BABES is a brilliant support network and our volunteers and trained staff deliver an exceptional service to help parents like you to overcome any barriers you may experience while breastfeeding. I am really pleased that you have succeeded.

I hope that the BABES network you have become part of continues to be source of support for you and your baby which opens the doors to many more beneficial experiences for you both.

Thank you
