amazing thank you! x

Have you looked at local breastfeeding groups? If you find your local council run nursery (Little Owls), they'll be able to put you in touch with your local outreach team. They run breastfeeding groups and other socialising drop-in groups, too. They offer lots of advice and will hopefully be able to help you. Breastfeeding is one of the most challenging things I've done. It's so mentally draining, and because of covid (little boy is 3 now), there was just no support x

we had some support from the LGI infant feeding team & outreach team initially which was amazing but they’re only available up to 28 days of age 🙄 my health visitor keeps encouraging me to go to our local Bosom Buddies group so I’ll give that a go! It is so so tough, we were having to feed our baby expressed milk through a syringe at first bc her latch was so bad and now we’ve cracked it I really want to persevere but it’s so draining atm!!

I also visited my local Bosom Buddies and they were so so helpful! Such lovely people and have really helpful advice x

that’s good to hear I’ll defo go next week then thank you!

Hi, I’m one of the Leeds Bosom Buddie peer support volunteers, please do come along to one of our groups, we can offer a listening ear and a cup of tea, along with lots of support for feeding. If there is extra support needed we can signpost and help you get that too x

thank you I’m aiming to try come this week!
