breastfeeding support with Birthworks

One of my earliest memories is my own mother bringing my sister home and feeding her while the rest of us lined up to feed our teddies and dolls.
I think this early exposure to the normality of Breastfeeding informed my own choices when it came to my babies.  I just fed them myself without any question or doubt.

It came as a surprise that it wasn’t easy! This was before Google existed and before breastfeeding support was available. I was on my own.
Through sheer stubbornness (and a lot of luck) I gritted my teeth and carried on and it worked but I can’t say I found it easy or enjoyable.

Fast forward 20 years, my experience in midwifery has been invaluable in adding to my knowledge and understanding of breastfeeding. What issues and problems can occur, practical tips, solutions and advice. Above all is the importance of sharing knowledge, experience, and advice, before the baby arrives. If you know how your body works, how to help up it work efficiently, and what to do if you have a problem, you will have confidence in your ability to feed, nurture, and care for your baby.
