@NicWardlePhoto That's really interesting to think about emotional support when stopping - so much focus is on getting feeding established then you are sort of left to it. It's tough to move on, isn't it?!

[The Short Years Project @ShortYears]

What was your experience of the first month of feeding your little one? Did breastfeeding work out for you if you wanted it to? What feeding tips would you give other new mums?

[The Motherload® @TheMotherloadHQ]

Breastfeeding is the most natural thing in the world, so why on earth do so many of us find it so hard? Welcome to your survival guide to the first month.

Christmas when you are battling a mental illness can bring so many stresses.
REMINDER - YOU ARE ENOUGH
Whatever the day itself brings; be kind to yourself.
Your children simply need you
Presence not presents.
One thing at a time on the day
SELF CARE
