Who can help

If you have a breastfeeding problem, get help as soon as possible. The longer you leave it, the more painful it may become, and a simply resolved positioning problem can all too easily develop into an infection that may take antibiotics to clear.

You can get help from:

•   A breastfeeding counsellor (the NCT and La Leche League have local contacts)
•   A local breastfeeding support group
•   Your midwife
•   Your GP
•   Your health visitor
•   The postnatal ward of your local hospital

Don't forget our breastfeeding discussion forum where mods, Suzie and Marianne, and lots of babyworld mums can help you with your breastfeeding queries.
