"A friend recommended that I call Helen. I was reassured by her clinical neonatal nursing background and she listened to me and was so kind that I felt relief straight away. She went through the issues I was having systematically and suggested things for me to try. She diagnosed that there were a couple of things going on. My son struggled to stay latched for any length of time. The milk flow was perhaps not as strong as it could be and it seemed he had to work quite hard for a let down also.  Latch, flow, slow let down and a baby who was finding bottles a lovely easy solution.   Over the next weeks and months, she supported me through the rocky terrain of positions, pumps,  tubes,  cracked nipples, shields, vasoconstriction and minimising top ups. My son is now 9 months old and he is still breastfed at every feed. Without the support of Helen, I am absolutely certain I would not have made it through those early months. There was just so much I did not know. She gave me the skill and confidence to get through the bumpy patch."
