The massive flaw in the current system is that general information is simply being repeated by many who have no idea of how to personalise breastfeeding, making it irrelevant to you, overloading you with information, slowing down your progress or worse, creating unnecessary problems!
Listen to me Linda...
Your mum told you that you were unique... and she was right... And your uniqueness influences breastfeeding in so many ways, but especially these 5 ways...
Your labour and birth is so unique
It is impossible to replicate the same birth twice, even if you have a c section - the elements that led to it are unique to you and will influence your breastfeeding.
Your medical history is unique
Sure others might have similar symptoms but how it presents and influences your breastfeeding experience, adds another level of personalisation
You are unique
Your past experiences, preferences, influencers, support system, life style, priorities are all unique to you. Embracing your uniqueness will change the decisions you make
Your baby is unique
And will have experienced a unique time in your womb, coming into the world and the moments after birth, will never be accurately replicated
Your baby's mouth and oral cavity are unique
This means that how your baby connects to your breast is specific to you and your baby. The connection between you is unique and this influences breastfeeding outcomes
With all this uniqueness - using the same one size fits all approach is just not going to work... and it doesn't!
At the time, it was 'common knowledge' (Ahem) that unless you'd breastfed yourself, you couldn't possibly be a breastfeeding counsellor, understand anything about breastfeeding or help mums to find solutions that worked for them...
It's true I had no experience, but my father delivered babies and well, he was never going to experience birth... so I had the hope of science and logic to get me through...
And it worked!
I’ve been told that I have a remarkable gift for simplifying the intricacies of feeding, seeing potential and possibilities instead of problems.

Joanna
Mum of two
As a new mum you often feel overwhelmed and unsure of what to do when your baby seems unsettled. She has a wealth of knowledge which was invaluable, and also a very reassuring and warm way about her. I would recommend her wholeheartedly.
