Our Aim
We aim to provide a high standard of care so that pregnant women and new mothers get the support they need. For women choosing to breastfeed we understand that sometimes breastfeeding can be stressful, exhausting and a challenge to establish.
Bump2Baby Reality’s infant feeding team promise to give you as much guidance as you need to successfully breastfeed your baby. Not only can we help you to become an expert breastfeeding mum we can also advise you on the more complex issues of breastfeeding. Problems such as tongue tie, prematurity, mastitis and taking medications whilst feeding need not affect your ability to succeed.
The visit includes advice and support on many breastfeeding issues, such as sore nipples, insufficient milk supply and nipple confusion. A full observation of you feeding your baby will take place, and guidance to improve your latching techniques, position and attachment. We can talk about any concerns you have, perhaps expressing, using nipple shields, mixed feeding.
We stress our Infant Feeding support is based upon women’s choice whether to breast or bottle feed their baby.
Our motto is simply ‘Happy Mum, Happy Baby’
Please don’t struggle – seek our support. We offer a prompt service listening to your concerns and observing your baby feed.
