Breastfeeding and the Bassetlaw Support network

"Breastfeeding and the Bassetlaw Support network"

About: Hallcroft Children's Centre

(as a service user),

My HV approached Kirsty to see if she could come out and look at my babies latch a few days after I had given birth. Kirsty took time to explain different techniques and help me to try to get my son on a bit better! I saw her a couple of times and spoke to her on the phone so I always felt supported. I then attended the breastfeeding group at Hallcroft on a Tuesday and had more support from Alison and all the peer supporters. I had, and still have, advice from them and they are a great network of support. Working alongside this is all the help you can get online from the FB breastfeeding buddies group. They have been invaluable! Breastfeeding is not easy at the beginning but I felt totally supported and cared for by this great bunch of people and I still ask their advice even now!

Getting support for breastfeeding, at the time that you need it is really important and that is what the BABES group endeavours to ensure. Along side the work that Alsion and Kirsty do we have a wonderful bunch of BF peer support volunteers which helps to make sure mothers can get the face to face help as well as meet other breastfeeding mums.

All of these are availbale not only at the begining but can also help right through when your baby is older, weaning etc and the drop in nature proved to be very popular with mums

It is good to hear the positive difference this service has made for you andyour little one and thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback, it is very much appreciated
