What you’ll learn about feeding: 

• Breast feeding is an important part of your baby’s future so if you can breastfeed then give it a real go
• Feeding time can be a good chance for mum (or dad) to bond with baby
• The breast can be very hard and increase in size which can make things pretty uncomfortable
• An important tip for new mum’s breast feeding is… ask for help. There is plenty of help available so don’t suffer in silence
• It can be difficult to establish breastfeeding and there can be some pain involved
• Your support network can really help and it’s important to reach out for help and enjoy this time
