How to Support a BF Parent
Breastfeeding, a learned skill – most often wonderful but sometimes
challenging!
When you are a breastfeeding parent, you may encounter a vast array of
emotions and experiences including moments of uncertainty, exhaustion and deep satisfaction.
Breastfeeding doesn’t need to be a solitary journey!
Regardless of your personal circumstances, there is support out there to help you navigate your breastfeeding journey. A safe space where you can share your highs and lows with other breastfeeding parents, an opportunity to learn how normal these experiences are.
