World Breastfeeding Week 🍼
Success in breastfeeding requires effort and planning, just because it is natural does not always mean it is easy.
Breastfeeding can be full of surprises and challenges. We know from personal and clinical experience!
🫶
Of the 96% of women who begin breastfeeding at birth, by six months only a third are still breastfeeding. This is not an issue with intention, but rather a gap in support that impacts breastfeeding outcomes.
Finding the right team to help can make a world of difference in finding your feet, managing the hiccups and giving you the direction you need to support you and your family best.
👩🏽🍼
If you chose not to breastfeed or stopped earlier than you wanted, we see you and we love you! There are so many reasons we see people move to formula for, but too often we hear that breastfeeding was too hard and a lack of support was a huge factor in that choice. Supporting women in this journey improves many health outcomes for mother and baby. Unfortunately, difficulty in accessing care for many women across the world interrupts the breastfeeding success rate.
💛
Breastfeeding should be exclusive for the first six months of age and continued up to and beyond two years old, for the benefit of mother and baby. This is the recommendation from the World Health Organization and worldwide breastfeeding associations.
If you are struggling please reach out so we can direct you to help. Or, if you are a local please get in touch as we would love to support you through a successful breastfeeding journey.
