Such a gorgeous time at the breastfeeding drop in today 💛

I had scrummy cuddles with this sweet little guy 💛 Last time I held him he was 2 days old.

Also had a visit from a mama from my very first breastfeeding preparation class who has officially breastfed for 6 months now 🙌🏻 Such a beautiful experience journeying with people in this season of life 💛

5 new faces and an extra small 6 day old squish in the mix!

My heart is full 🥰

Midwife led breastfeeding preparation classes help you identify you why, how and what for your breastfeeding journey!

WHY breastfeed? What are the benefits for Mum and baby.

HOW to breastfeed, protect your lactation and how hand expressing is a great skill to learn!

WHAT has this got to do with my partner and what can they do?!

We cover the above and so much more to help prepare and protect your breastfeeding journey 💛

February date to be announced soon 💛 Express your interest by emailing me at exeterbreastfeedingservice@gmail.com or slide into my DMs and I’ll add you to the comms list!

Happy Monday 💛

First breastfeeding preparation class of 2026 kicked off today 💛

We had a lot of fun. The group were very engaged and up for all the activities!

It honestly fills me with such joy when parents say “I’ve learnt so much!” Knowledge is definitely power as you head on into your breastfeeding journey 💛

If you’d like to express an interest in upcoming breastfeeding prep classes this year drop me an email at exeterbreastfeedingservice@gmail.com with your due date and the subject classes ☺️

A few months ago when I first received my warning at work for the breastfeeding services I provide I was absolutely gutted. My whole purpose and motivation behind creating was simply to find a way to make breastfeeding support accessible for EVERYONE. The drop in I run for free, the services I provide on a 1:1 basis are low cost compared to the market rates for lactation services and everything I do comes from a place of compassion. I want to get alongside you and make the ups and downs of breastfeeding feel more manageable and less lonely 💛

So, after being unsure of myself for a couple of months and how to navigate the conflict between my NHS role and exeter breastfeeding service I feel much clearer in the way forward this year.

The messages I have received from people who have been following my content or accessed my services has really encouraged me not to give up, thank you 💛 I am so looking forward to doing motherhood with you in 2026 🥰

Tons of love,
Midwife Pippa x

Sharing all the hard parts of breastfeeding at the drop in today 💛

Thank you for being brave and honest 💛

I’ll never forget the moment I went for a “quick” shower (didn’t even contemplate washing my hair as I felt that was a stretch too far with a breastfeeding newborn!!). Within a MINUTE my husband was stood at the shower door with our baby wailing telling me she needed a feed…

I screeeeeamed “I just want 5 minutes!!!!!!! Is that so much to ask?!” As I fell in a heap on the shower floor crying, breasts leaking and wondering why I’d even bothered trying… I got out the shower, pi**ed off and reluctantly breastfed…

That night, in the quiet early hours as George fed we locked eyes and this rush of love flooded through me. I sat thinking what a precious gift it was to be able to breastfeed.

You don’t have to love the whole journey! Sometimes it feels horrible, you don’t want to do it and you’re angry, that’s ok! Other times it is beautiful, precious and it is the journey just the two of you 💛

However today feels for you, take one feed at a time. Lots of love x
