In Their Words
"I don't think thank you quite articulates what I want to say, but it's a start! I felt completely in control and respected and this has made a huge difference to my mental health"
"Within five minutes of asking 'is this normal?', Geraldine was on my sofa, getting both babies latched, assessing their feeding, and building a plan. Nearing the 6 month mark, I can honestly say that I have fallen back in love with breastfeeding again."
"Thank you for looking after me so well during my pregnancy and birth and for making all the scary unknowns less scary"
