Lots of things make us question our supply, but if your baby is growing well and filling nappies your milk supply is not a problem.
BUT, if you're having worries please do see someone for a feeding assessment and then can help you with any 'fine tuning' and reassurance

Breastfeeding should not hurt💜

Sometimes a little difference in how your baby is feeding can make a big difference to how comfortable it is for you and how easily your baby gets your milk.

An easy acronym for correct positioning is CHINS:

Close - Head free - In line - Nose-to-nipple - Sustainable

If you're struggling, it may help you to come along to one of our drop-in groups where a peer supporter can support you through a feed.

Find our local services on our website:

Our peer supporters at National Breastfeeding Helpline UK can also talk you through a feed over the phone or by message - available 24/7 💗

[ID: Close. Pull baby in close to your body. No gaps. Head free. No hands on the head, supporting the neck. In line. Make sure baby's body is in a nice line, no twisting or arching. Nose-to-nipple. To ensure a deep latch. Sustainable. Are you and baby comfortable? Will this position be comfortable for the whole feed?]
