In LLLGB's first podcast episode, volunteer breastfeeding counsellors Sarah Fletcher and Maria Yasnova discuss why support matters. They shine the light on how families may feel when facing breastfeeding difficulties, the vulnerability and the urgency of seeking help in the early days and at every stage of their feeding journey. The holistic model of support offered by LLL is discussed and the listeners are encouraged to reach out if breastfeeding support and information is needed.
