Every breastfeeding mother and baby share a unique and special relationship, second to none. As a mother you want to do the best you can for your baby but sometimes breastfeeding doesn’t come naturally. For baby it is instinctive, but for Mum it is a learned skill which sometimes requires expert guidance.
How do I know if I have enough milk? Is it normal for breastfeeding to be painful? How long do I need to feed my baby for? Will I need to express my milk? Do I need to wake my baby up to feed? Why does my baby feed all the time? When will I get some sleep? Will I ever be able to enjoy breastfeeding my baby?
“I can’t thank Rowena enough for her advice, caring attention and support. Her warm manner and well considered advice were just what was needed ….” Ruth, Ascot Vale
You are not alone in your world of more questions than answers and you don’t have to settle for second best. There is almost always a solution to the challenges you and your baby are facing and you can once again be confident about your feeding choice.
