Let's Breastfeed

Dear Geraldine,
I know that you work predominantly with breastfeeding issues, but am hoping that you may be able to give me some guidance with bottle feeding. My little boy Felix and I tried to breastfeed, but as he wasn’t gaining any weight and I will in a great deal of pain, we decided to bottle [...]

Dear Geraldine,
I have been told that my baby has colic and am totally devasted. Oscar is 4 weeks old and is really unsettled toward the end of the day – when I am feeling tired myself, but won’t settle until 9pm – 10pm at night. I have tried to put him on a routine, I [...]

Dear Geraldine,
I have been trying to breastfeed my baby for 3 weeks and sadly I just can’t seem to get it right or get it to ’stay right’. It seems as though things go well for a little while and then everything changes and I am back to expressing and bottle feeding. I just can’t [...]

Dear Geraldine,
You have helped several of my NCT friends and now I am in need of your expertise. My baby is 4 days old and is not breastfeeding at all. The midwives are concerned about her and have suggested giving her a bottle of milk instead of breastfeeds until she is stronger. I am worried [...]

Dear Geraldine,
I am a mum of a 7 day old baby and am not sure if I am a little paranoid or whether I need help. I have looked at your mastitis guide but before I purchase a copy, just wanted to know the difference between mastitis and engorgement?

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 [...]

Hi
Thanks for this advice – it is very helpful. However I have a slightly different problem. I have been breastfeeding for months and have recently been using at the 3pm feed to start weaning off breastfeeding. My daughter reluctantly took a few onces at a push but i would not offer my breast as i [...]
