The comments in this post have given me all the warm fuzzies and the tearies. It's flipping lovely to see communities support our mums to nurse when they need to, and a great reminder that a kind little interaction with a breastfeeding mum can stay in her heart for the rest of her life.

People sometimes tell me they’re worried about breastfeeding in public, and the media LOVES a good “Mum told to stop breastfeeding in supermarket” headline. But the reason these stories make the news is because they’re pretty rare. (And they make for profitable comment sections.)

I breastfed my eldest for 18 months and my youngest for around 2.5yrs. I had *one* bad experience in that time, in a coffee shop. A woman asked me to move to a different table because her husband was embarrassed I was breastfeeding. A barista appeared *immediately* and told the women *they* could move if they were embarrassed, and once he’d dealt with the couple, he put a free muffin in front of me.

I fed my babies / toddlers out and about more times than I could even try to count, and the one weird experience was counteracted by a member of staff who knew and protected my rights.

Do you have a good experience of feeding in public? I’d love this comment section to be filled with confidence boosting stories. ❤

Not related to lactation as far as we know (which is not as far as we THINK we know!) - but a great example of how little is still understood about the female body. So to those mommas who nursed and nursed and pumped and pumped, and drank fenugreek tea until they sweated maple syrup, and who puzzled with their IBCLC and ob-gyn and endocrinologist, and STILL couldn’t produce enough milk - your supply might just have been under the control of an aspect of our anatomy that simply got erased from the biology books as irrelevant.

Give yourself grace.

And beat the drum to help us be better understood and better supported!

It utterly makes my day to hear from the families I've worked with. I always feel so close to their journey, after stepping into their home during those deliciously wonderful but overwhelmingly vulnerable newborn days. And so knowing that they made it - that they're thriving in their breastfeeding groove - gives me the tearies every time.

This dad kindly sent me this video about his family's experience of working with me. It means the world to me, as he puts into words what I always hope to bring: helping parents feel informed, getting to the root of challenges so we can turn them around, and supporting families to find their wings toward their breastfeeding goals. And hats off to the momma in this family, who worked so hard to make this work, and DID IT!!

Thank you so much Leon for taking the time to make this. 🙏 Your family will be in my heart forever.

I'd love to hear from any other past clients who would also be willing to make a little video testimonial - it would mean so much to me.

For the mommas I've seen recently with their cluster feeding tiddlers - take heart in knowing that you're part of a long tradition of cluster feeding mommas just praying for a 3 minute break 🤪🤗💪

Free online Breastfeeding Helpline is back, now on Mondays 5pm-5.45pm.

Ask me anything! Link: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/86588905993?pwd=VZuJIjPEusla2JfqPI20bsDpakn69J.1

I offer this service because a lot of breastfeeding questions can be answered without needing a consult, but ChatGPT and Googling can get families in a bit of a spiral. A lot of info online worked great for one family, but may create challenges for you and your baby. Instead, talk to a friendly human who trained for years in this niche specialty, who is able to nuance information to individuals, and who loves to help.

I will provide an answer on the spot if I can. Or I'll ask you some questions first to make sure the info is really relevant and tailored to you. Or I'll point you in the right direction of reliable info sources or providers if that would be the best route.

I run the helpline on Zoom from 5pm-5.45pm on Mondays. It’s free, you can drop in any time to ask your question and drop off when you’re done.

It’s there for pregnant, postpartum and weaning families, and for anyone in between.

You can ask me anything at all related to lactation - concerns, worries, hopes, myths, or if you’re just fascinated. Nothing’s too small, nothing is silly, you’re very welcome to just run anything past me.

The link is the same every week so save this post if you might need it another day.

You can also get info from website www.annieseymour.org

*Reminder that the Breastfeeding Helpline is no longer running on Tuesdays!*

I'll be with the fantastic lactation team at Queen Sirikit National Institute of Child Health for the coming Tuesdays, so I'll find a new time slot for the helpline and let you know shortly.

In the meantime, as always feel free to reach out if you'd like a consult ❤️
