The 'Lets Breastfeed' Philosophy
I created the Let's Breastfeed Programme as I believe that with the correct information, breastfeeding can be simple and enjoyable for both mom and baby. Furthermore, I believe that food is an integral part of who we are. Food brings families together, it brings out the best in us and without it, we are miserable.
Being able to help moms breastfeed their babies without pain is the most amazing gift I can give a family. It carries with it a huge responsibility, but one that I relish and am fiercely protective of. Breast milk is not only nutritious and uniquely designed to meet your baby's needs, it is the food of love. There is not greater love than that of a mother and her infant. I want all mothers to have the correct tools to master the art of breastfeeding.
I also wanted to create a program that would:
- Build a solid foundation with breastfeeding basics all mothers should know, so that your confidence will grow in your body's ability to produce enough milk to satisfy your little one.
- Give you straight forward, clear, and simple instructions with clear pictures, to get the best position possible when latching and feeding - eliminating pain and discomfort.
- Give you many options to pick and choose from to create the best experience possible for your family; whether this is exclusive breastfeeding or combined feeding, the choice is yours.
- Enable you to learn from my experience.
Many resources focus primarily on the benefits of breastfeeding or strict unforgiving routines, which I believe creates additional pressure and frustration. I support all parents regardless of their infant feeding choice and believe that every drop of breast milk your baby receives makes a difference. That's why I am focussing on the practical issues of breastfeeding in this program. We all know it is best for both mom and baby, but how do you do it and how it works, are important questions that aren't really answered!
My Let's Breastfeed Program is as positive and exciting as it sounds!
There is a uniqueness to every breastfeeding dyad that needs to be addressed and supported. By embracing your uniqueness and modifying your positioning and attachment to suit you and your baby, you will find your breastfeeding time will transform into a nurturing and loving experience.
