Problems?
This section lists a selection of common problems you may face and will link you to external sites that offer up to date, evidence based advice and information. A helpful resource in the middle of the night when the helplines and face to face visits are not possible. It should however be used as an addition to seeking to face to face support from a health professional, lactation consultant or a breastfeeding counsellor.
