"An amazing service with wonderful staff"

About: Fife Community Services / Breast Feeding Support Service

(as a service user),

I would just like to take the time to say how grateful I am for breast feeding support. Recovering from a c section in the hospital and having a baby with a tongue tie made breast feeding very difficult at the start, I went home and felt so upset with the pain caused trying to feed and then for my little one to start loosing weight was very scary.

That’s when I called breastfeeding support and spoke to Susan, I can’t even begging to explain the impact she had, her calm positive and reassuring nature on the phone with some tips to get through the day until her visit and when she did visit she spent time helping and teaching me ways to ensure we get a good latch, between visit she was always texting to check in and the whole time I knew she was only a phone call away.

Becoming a new mum for the first time can be very overwhelming so to have someone like Susan there to help with the basic really is more valuable than I could put into words, with her help we got my little one feeding amazingly and gaining weight again and that’s something I could never thank her enough for. It really is an amazing service with wonderful staff.

Thank you for taking the time to let us know how helpful and beneficial the support you received from breastfeeding support was. I will ensure Susan is aware of your comments. I am pleased to hear that your little one is now latching on well and gaining weight. Being a new Mum is overwhelming at times and I am pleased that Susan was there to give you some reassurance.
