Let's Breastfeed

Dear Geraldine,
My baby is due at the end of November and I am nervous that I will have problems breastfeeding, as nobody in my family have been able to breastfeed successfully yet. I am not sure if there is just something ‘wrong’ with the ladies in our family but would like to set up a [...]

Hi Geraldine,
I was wondering which eBook to get as I am not sure which problems I will experience once my baby arrives. My friends have warned me that there is already so much advice on offer, it gets very confusing very quickly.
You have been recommended to me by several people, so I trust your [...]

Greetings,
As many of you would have noticed, I have not been adding your questions to my blog for a couple of weeks. The reason is that I have been across the pond with my family. Florida was hot and sticky but really wonderful. There were quite a few things going on, which got my attention.

Dear Geraldine,
I am expecting twins and have been booked in for a CSection on Monday. I have heard so many stories about moms not getting any quality support in hospital, so am worried as I will have 2 babies to contend with, rather than just one. What advice can you give me to get them [...]

Dear Geraldine,
I have just found your website and hope you can help because I just don’t think I can continue breastfeeding. My baby is 6 days old. I thought he was feeding well because the midwife said ‘he looked fine’ but now he has lost 12% of his birthweight and they want me to give [...]

Dear Geraldine,
You visited a friend of mine and hope you can help me too. My baby is due next week and I am worried that I will not be able to produce enough milk as I had reduction surgery 12 years ago. How will I know whether I am able to produce enough milk or [...]

Hi Geraldine,
Just wanted to thank you for seeing Josh and I so quickly. We had heard that you were usually booked up for days so were delighted when you said you could see us at your practice on the same day!
Josh seems heavier already (though it may be too early to tell) and my [...]

Dear Geraldine,
My son Sam is 4 months old now and exclusively breastfed. We had a tricky start and he had to have top ups for the first 3 weeks and took the bottle fine. The midwives told me that he would never breastfeed and so when he did, I stopped offering him bottles so that [...]

Dear Geraldine,
I am worried that my son Joshua is not getting enough food. He will only feed for 3-5 minutes and then he pulls off and I can’t get him back on. My midwife thinks he is hungry and says he should be feeding for at least 45minutes but when I try to put him [...]
