I really want to breastfeed but am struggling and need some help ....

First of all, let’s talk about guilt. A lot of women feel guilty if they can’t breastfeed or struggle to breastfeed their baby, especially if they really, really want to. Just remember, it is ok to not be perfect at something. The role of a lactation consultant is to help you and to work through the problems you are having if you have chosen to breastfeed and are struggling. Breastfeeding is hard work and really takes a few weeks to feel confident in what you are doing. If you need support this is where I come in.

I offer one on one private consultations with you and your baby, no matter what age. We can feed together and come up with some practical solutions to make feeding an effective and enjoyable experience. I can be contacted through Dr Coles rooms on 9416 2802. There are no silly questions when it comes to this issue. I am here to help you so please reach out.
