"Wonderful breastfeeding support"

About: Crosshouse Hospital / Maternity care

(as the patient),

I received support from Marjorie. I ended up back in hospital 8 days post section due to what they believed to be a urine infection in my baby. They originally believed it to be a “feeding issue” Feeding after a caesarean is hard, let alone being full of self doubt and medical doubt. I was made to feel as if I wasn’t succeeding and seriously doubted myself throughout my stay. The doctors made me feel very doubting of myself and my ability to feed.

That’s where Marjorie stepped in. She came from the breast feeding network to help and support me. Marjorie helped me in ways I’ll never be able to thank her for. She helped me, she reassured me and she comforted me when I needed it. Marjorie was wonderful in every way. She made me feel less alone while stuck in hospital without any support so shortly after my section. She popped in everyday and I looked forward to seeing her. She was wonderful. She built up my confidence up when it had been shattered. She spent time and effort to get me back to where I needed to be. Florence and I can’t thank you enough for all your kindness and help.
