"Breast feeding success"

During pregnancy I was quite open minded about feeding, I wanted to breast feed but if I couldn't then that was fine. When I was 37 weeks pregnant I went to an antenatal class at sure start which was led by a lady called Kat. It was such a useful session, Kat gave us such knowledge on breast feeding, brain development and bonding. She gave me the confidence to believe that l could breast feed and she would be there if I struggled. My daughter was born and feeding didn't come very naturally, on day 3 Kat came after being asked by my midwife. She arrived and was interested in my birth and feeding journey so far, she gave me so much help and support and made me feel so comfortable. Kat came a few times and she would keep in regular contact with myself after weigh ins with my midwife and health visitor. She really was so supportive and I can honestly say that I wouldn't still be breast feeding had it not been for Kat's amazing, support, guidence and expertise. I've been to a few breast feeding groups at sure start so I still have regular contact with her. She needs to be cloned, everyone needs Kat to support in their breast feeding journey. I feel really angry when people don't get support, I feel very fortunate. She is friendly, professional, supportive and down to earth... she's a credit to the health visiting team in Mansfield. My daughter is now 15 weeks and 5 days and I'm still breast feeding!
