Breastfeeding support

"Breastfeeding support"

About: County Community Hospital / Maternity care

(as a service user),

Difficult with producing enough milk for breast feeding. One to one support and group support given by Lana breast feeding support in this area, made me feel much more at ease with myself and my baby while feeding. Great support much needed at an emotional time and wanting to do the best for my baby. Lana was brilliant such a great service. Much needed.

Hi Edderton,

Many thanks for taking your time to tell us your story and congratulations on the birth of your baby. I am sorry to read you had problems with breastfeeding but I am delighted that you found Lana such a great resource to support you in your choice to breastfeed. Breastfeeding can be a very stressful and emotional time and it is thanks to frontline staff like Lana that we can ensure women like yourself can receive timely, local support.

By telling your story you are raising the profile of what support is available for other mums to see and in doing so you could be helping someone else to feed. I will pass on your story to Lana who will be delighted to read this.
