War and conflict is a confusing time for everyone, children especially. Its a topic that is difficult and emotive and we can under estimate what children think and know of what is going on.

The news exposure of the topic to children can be very distressing and isn't delivered in a child friendly way.
Here is some useful information about Media coverage and children.

A quick update from our team 🙂

Our While You Wait sessions will be coming to an end soon, with the final session taking place on 25th March.

We’d like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has come along and been part of these sessions. It’s been wonderful meeting so many families, sharing experiences, and creating a supportive space together.

The good news is that there are still plenty of ways to stay connected with us! You can continue to access support through our Coffee & Connects, workshops, and our Advice Line if you have any questions or would like some guidance.

We look forward to seeing many of you at our other sessions soon and continuing to support families across Devon 💙

Lots will exclusively feed from the breast/chest, others will pump, a few will use a supplementary nursing system, many will use human milk alongside infant formula, several will be feeding human milk via NG tube or Peg.

No journey is ever the same because you and your baby are unique.

So what happens if you find yourself somewhere where you didn't expect to be? If your breastfeeding journey doesn't look like you thought it would, how do you feel about this? Do you have support or know where you can talk about how you feel?

If you are feeling unexpected, uncomfortable and perhaps intense feelings about your feeding journey please reach out to your Health Visitor on 01752 434008, midwifery service or contact Plymouth Latch On for support and a chat.
