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.
