My breastfeeding journey started very poorly during my hospital stay due to poor support and information from the midwives. As a first time mum I had no idea that what I was being told was wrong and assumed the physical pain and damage was 'normal. ' Once I got home from the hospital I struggled to feed my baby and got in touch with the breastfeeding support team. I saw Susan, Gillian and Kelly throughout my ongoing support from the team and they were amazing. They have been the most positive part of my care throughout my whole pregnancy/post partum experience. They are practical, kind people who put you as the mum first. They are so good at what they do and gave me the opportunity to feed my baby that without them I just wouldn't have had the chance or would have ended up in even more pain. I honestly think there would be more success for mothers who want to breast feed if they met these girls from the beginning. They had such a big impact on my situation not only for breastfeeding but for my mental health too. They are absolutely amazing and I can't thank them enough.
