It is every breastfeeding mother’s wish to be able to achieve pain-free feeds and for her baby to grow well. Below are some of the situations that we can support mothers with:

• Painful nipples and / or breasts

• Difficulties with babies’ attachment at mothers’ breasts

• Concerns about babies’ weight gain

• Reducing dependence upon using nipple shields to breastfeed

• Increasing milk supply

• Reducing and reversing need for supplementation with baby milk formula

• Support to relactate

• Support to reduce breastfeeding

• Ante – natal support and information

Sometimes there isn’t any particular “problem”, more a mother’s sense that all isn’t quite as she feels it should be. Breastfeeding can be a challenge, especially when family and friends don't have experience of it and are not sure how to help.

• We can offer mothers time to talk about how her life has changed

• We can encourage mothers to realise that breastfeeding is actually normal baby feeding

• We can offer mothers strategies for managing tiredness

• We can help mothers to feel valued for their invested commitment to their babies
