After 751 days our breastfeeding journey has ended…and it’s been emotional
And just like that, it's over. After 751 days my breastfeeding journey with my son has come to an end....
Hello I'm Grace, mumma to Freddie born July 2020. I live in Lancashire Rossendale.
We set out wanting to breastfeed not really knowing much about it and a little bit naive about the challenges. We have had mastitis and werw hospitalised, we faced cluster feeding and bleeding nipples. Like many mums I was disappointed in the support I received so have set out to try and change that.
I have completed my level 1 Breastfeeding Peer Support with Breastfeeding Together.
I am a Breastfeeding Champion at ELHT. I work as an Operating Department Practitioner in the NHS, currently pumping since returning work in July 2021. See my 10 ten tips for breastfeeding and returning to work.
I am a volunteer advocate for Rochdale and Oldham Maternal Voices Partnership.
Love being part of the #boobingit community. Grateful for all the like minded friends I've made along the way.
