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.
