Note: The Department of Health recommends exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months. If you or a friend would like help in coping with any breastfeeding difficulties, please see your midwife or health visitor, or refer to our Support Links.

We use this section to provide personal stories and links to organisations and web sites that offer parents breastfeeding information, helplines and access to breastfeeding counsellors.

This section is currently split into the sections you can see on the left menu.

If you'd like to share your own experiences or know of a good breastfeeding support site please forward the details to: contributions@forparentsbyparents.co.uk.
