Breastfeeding advice

Breastfeeding problems can arise before birth, after birth and during the breastfeeding period. Perhaps you are pregnant and do not know whether you want to or are able to breastfeed at all?
Women with gestational diabetes in particular can benefit from antenatal breastfeeding counselling.
Our qualified IBCLC breastfeeding and lactation consultants will help you in such situations.
Breastfeeding your child regularly, especially in the period immediately after birth, gives your child a good start in life!
