Breastfeeding Support

Chaya understands that mothers sometimes feel anxious or worried about breastfeeding. It is so central to motherhood that women feel they should instinctively know how to do it and take to it naturally. But it’s not always easy, it can take time to get right. Mothers might also have all sorts of questions, such as how often should I breastfeed? Should I breastfeed at set times? Or simply, why isn’t it working for me?

If you feel like this then Chaya can help you overcome your breastfeeding problems. She breastfed both of her own children, has been a Breastfeeding Peer supporter since 2011 and is an active member of La Leche League in Bath. Using a combination of counselling skills and practical guidance she offers emotional and physical support so that mothers work through challenges by making informed decisions to find out what will help them to successfully breastfeed their babies.

Home visits in the Bath area are up to two hours long and cost £65 plus travelling expenses. .
