  • Breastfeeding support

    There is lots of really skilled breastfeeding support available free of charge. However, some mothers need a postnatal doula who has good breastfeeding support skills. If this is what you are looking for, I may be able to help. Private Infant Feeding Support is £60 for a two hour session

    I am a registered Association of Breastfeeding Mothers Breastfeeding Counsellor. I can use this knowledge to support you with breastfeeding as a doula.

    It is the very essence of the Association of Breastfeeding Mothers that support is offered free of charge, that support is free from any commercial influence and that the organisation is accessible to all. It is crucial that these principles are upheld and are seen to be upheld. It is therefore not possible to act as a doula and an ABM Breastfeeding Counsellor for the same woman.

    Therefore, if you require help, support or information from the ABM, you can access that through our helpline. (08444 122 949), a National Breastfeeding helpline which connects parents with a Breastfeeding Counsellor in their area) 

    Alternatively, you could ring the National Breastfeeding Helpline (0300 100 0212) or your doula may arrange for another counsellor to contact you.
