I rang my mum to tell her I was breastfeeding standing up on the bus stop in Kings Chase Shopping Centre.
I’m so proud of myself!

Sometimes you’ve just gotta do what you’ve gotta do and then ring your mum.

Happy Mother’s Day to all of you.

Applications close 31 January.

Lovely feedback from second time mum with her gorgeous 4 day old smasher.
She was feeling a bit sore and wondering how she got to breastfeed baby number 1 for 3 years, but baby number 2 was proving tricky.

“Thank you so much for today! I’m already feeling so much better and more confident again with feeds.
Just had a nice pain free lying on my leg feed!
I’m looking forward to side lying again tonight too ☺️”
