I am Training to be a Voluntary Breast Feeding Peer Support Worker for the La Leche League.
Just wanted to put my feelers out and see what the general (and most common) concerns are in the real world?!
I BF dd1, FF dd2 and mixed fed dd3. Have had cracked nips, poor latch, mastitis, the works!!
I am volunteering to help other mums and mums to be both in the home and in the Post natal wards (plus lobbying to offer antenatal support before LO's arrive!).
The only problem I have faced, is that in my very small group of fellow trainees, 99% have found BF a breeze with little or no difficulty. I feel that gaining a realistic picture of worries, concerns, anxieties or even just opinions would enable me to give the group an insight into what it is like to struggle to BF at times.
Any comments, input or funny stories would be much appreciated!
Thanks, Claire. xxxx
