Beginning breastfeeding

Thanks to those who came to the last meeting and shared their ideas for getting breastfeeding started off well. It was lovely to hear your experiences and plans for the forthcoming births. We discussed skin-to-skin contact and 'biological nurturing'. More information can be found at www.biologicalnurturing.com

There are great tear off sheets and leaflets available to buy from the La Leche League GB website covering many topics including positioning your baby at the breast, avoiding sore nipples and adjusting to motherhood. There is a great 'New Mum's' pack of leaflets that is highly recommended. Don't forget the Frequently Asked Questions section of www.llli.org which covers everything you might need to know in the middle of the night!

love Charlie
