I've seen a few threads shouting for Tiktok lately...

[hunkermunker]

..or posters saying they hope she'll be along in a minute. She's having a bit of a break from MN and I think it's best if people also seek RL help from the bfeeding support lines, as well as using MN for support.

Please don't make a big thing of this - I'm sure Tiktok will post again - she's just having a bit of a break.

Please, if you're worried about breastfeeding your baby, ring one of these numbers - by all means keep discussing it here too though - I'll try to help as much as I can and I know there are loads of other people who will too.

National Childbirth Trust Breastfeeding Line 0870 444 8708
La Leche League Telephone Helpline 0845 120 2918
Association of Breastfeeding Mothers helpline 0870 401 7711
Breastfeeding Network Supporterline 0870 900 8787

she gives so much to MN, she's entitled to a bit of time off for good behaviour i reckon. see you soon, tiktok.

.

I know you said don't make a big thing of it but just wanted to add my thanks for her great advice.

She's also made this forum an invaluable repository of sensible, evidence based breast feeding information & knowledge so a search almost always comes up with an answer if anyone is looking for her advice while she's on her break (nothing new under the sun and all that...)

Shona, that's lovely.

Obviously feel free to add messages of thanks!

I just meant ones that might be more like a child holding onto their mum's arm to stop them leaving their bedroom at night

That's a really good idea Hunker - good to have all the helpline numbers in one place.

Tiktok deserves a rest! I second Shona
