It took a whole football team to get to where we are now.
Lack of support is one of the main reasons why mothers don’t continue. It’s vital! I know I wouldn’t be breastfeeding Finty or getting through the first few difficult months without these people. So today I wanted to acknowledge all the people who supported us.
‘From the osteopath who did cranial therapy on Finty to loosen her jaw and help her latch better, to the lactation consultant who helped me with Finty’s latch when she was born, to the amazing midwives in the community who want all mothers to succeed and make no question seem too silly to ask.

‘To my mum who has been there for us through everything, nothing is too much. To have a supportive partner who understands how much breastfeeding means to me and who, through those difficult times and long nights, encourages me to keep going. And to the amazing breastfeeding community online and on social media, thank you.
‘It’s never easy to write about breastfeeding. I understand that it can upset some people, and I want them to know that my intention is never to make mothers feel inadequate or like they’ve failed. I salute all mothers because I know it’s the hardest job in the world. My only goal is to encourage, inspire, and show support for the breastfeeding community.
Because that’s what it’s all about: supporting each other.”
