Breastfeeding was not straightforward for me. My baby was slow to gain weight and it was incredibly painful to feed her. I was referred by my health visitor to Jo at the Ashfield Breastfeeding Specialist Clinic for help.
From the start, Jo put me at ease, listening to our story so far and what my goals were with breastfeeding. She helped me try different positions, checked the baby's latch, taught me how to check if the latch was good, and talked through my worries and concerns. Before I saw her, I wasn't sure I would be able to continue breastfeeding for long. I've now been breastfeeding for 7.5 months and I don't think I would've gotten this far without her support at a such a crucial time.
