"A huge support in my feeding journey"

About: Airdrie Locality Support Service / Health Visiting Team

(as a service user),

Since attending this group I have felt a huge support in my feeding journey as there have been a lot of bumps along the way.  The ladies have supported me not only within the group but also multiple home visits until we were happy with the feeding and latch as well as my own confidence.  

Their encouragement and reassurance is definitely the reason we have made this far at 10 weeks. However, also having them give me options when they could see that I was not enjoying the process and beginning to resent the entire thing.  They pushed me to do what was best for me and my baby even if that meant breast feeding coming to an end.  Thankfully we were able to mouse through and have now turned a corner. 

This group has also gave me the chance to join a community of other local mums who are equally as supportive, giving advice and even just having adult company for a couple of hours each week.  

We love this group and appreciate all of the staff and people involved..

Thank you.
