MISSION STATEMENT
BREAST SUCCESS can be achieved on many levels! Breastfeeding knowledge and support is the first step to help making informed decisions about feeding babies.
Breastfeeding your baby is the biological norm, however it is not always easy! Each mother and infant pair are unique and have their own specific circumstances. By listening to mothers and observing them feeding their infants, individualised support and reassurance can be given to improve breastfeeding outcomes and meet mother's breastfeeding goals.
Recognition that "mothers want to do what's best for their children and families, within the context of their circumstances", is important.
Empowering and supporting mothers to make informed decisions is my goal!
The World Health Organization promotes "Exclusive breastfeeding is recommended up to 6 months of age, with continued breastfeeding along with appropriate complementary foods up to two years of age or beyond."
To support mothers and their babies along this journey is a privilege and an honour.
