Breastfeeding is a learned skill; mothers and babies need appropriate support and encouragement if they encounter problems. Many families have no problems at all with breastfeeding but research has shown that accessing breastfeeding classes before giving birth can help a mother and baby be more successful with breastfeeding.

It is important that you are not made to feel a 'failure' or bad parents if you are unable to, or choose not to, breastfeed your baby.Some new mums find it hard to get started, while others hit problems later on.

We hope you find the solution to your breastfeeding problem in our articles here but if you need more hands-on help, ask your health visitor or GP to refer you to a breastfeeding counsellor or infant feeding specialist.
