Testimonials

Thank you for the support for our family through the early days of breastfeeding with both our sons. The advice and help was been invaluable and the ongoing support and opportunity to attend groups has been great.

Infant Feeding

The feeding team are amazing with communication and are extremely supportive. I couldn't improve them in any way.

Infant Feeding

The advisers are super helpful and put my mind at ease. Also always offer to rearrange the appointment if the time is not suitable. I love the fact I could send in a video and get a swift response after it has been reviewed, helping to determine whether tongue tie is the issue for my daughter.

 

Infant Feeding

It is so wonderful and empowering to see women support each other.
