As a first time Mum who really struggled with the initial weeks of breastfeeding, the support I received from Breastfeeding Support Fife was invaluable.
I developed thrush (as did my baby) and mastitis in one breast. The team gave me really great advice over the phone about treatments, what to ask my GP for in terms of medicine and how to help clear both issues. I also had two in person visits to help me with my baby’s latch (feeding was agony for the first 6/7 weeks) which were so helpful and gave me the confidence that things would get better. They also followed up with informative videos on baby’s latch. The fact that we have this service for free is unbelievable really, we are so lucky to have access to this kind of support.
