Great post by Lucy Webber Feeding Support - IBCLC

Wonderfully, breastfeeding helps our earth in a variety of ways. This comes from research, not just my thoughts on this.

[ID: National Breastfeeding Helpline. Quote. As it was night time I wasn't able to contact my midwife team and ask for breastfeeding support that is available locally. As it was a difficult night feeding with a lot of pain, it was really valuable to be reassured and given some suggestions/pointers of what would be helpful to try. 0300 100 0212 - 24/7.]
