With years of experience as a breastfeeding counsellor, I have assisted countless women since 2003 on their breastfeeding journey, offering vital support and guidance.
Engaging in discussions about breastfeeding often elicits strong emotions. While it is widely acknowledged that breastfeeding is the natural method to nourish a baby, it may not instinctively come to all new parents. That’s where early feeding support is crucial.
Breastfeeding is a skill that both mother and baby must acquire. This skill requires time, effort, and patience to master. Unfortunately, learning can be disrupted by unsolicited advice and misleading information.
Every baby is born with an innate instinct and desire to feed. Babies placed skin-to-skin with their mother right after birth can naturally find their way to the breast and latch on by following their instinct. Biological Nurturing, or baby-led breastfeeding, encourages babies to follow this instinct, with mother and baby working together. This approach enables the baby to find a comfortable position to latch onto the breast.
If breastfeeding challenges arise, seeking help early from a Breastfeeding counsellor can make a massive difference to feeding outcomes.
As a breastfeeding counsellor, I’m here to provide comprehensive feeding support tailored to whatever feeding choices you make.
