Breastfeeding

Breastfeeding is natural, but it is also a learned skill for parent and baby. Needing practical help does not mean you have failed.

Useful early support

  • Check positioning and attachment if feeds hurt.
  • Feed responsively rather than watching only the clock.
  • Keep water, food and a comfortable seat within reach.
  • Seek qualified lactation or medical support for ongoing pain or concerns.

Your wellbeing matters alongside your feeding goals.
