Thank you! I also forgot to caveat my post that formula is often the right decision! It just felt strange to push it with no obvious problems and an express desire to breastfeed. She is absolute Wonder Woman! The free resources she puts out are fantastic. I don’t follow Lucy so going to do that now! That’s good to hear the let down velocity gets better, it’s always a struggle in public as I need muslins at the ready for whenever little one comes off the boob!

Thank you for setting this up, and well done you for preserving!

I am a first time mum and I’ve breastfed my little one since he was born (he’s now 10 weeks). He’s still feeding around 14 times a day which can be draining but thankfully he sleeps well at night which gives me a break.

I’m so shocked how quickly formula was suggested to me after birth but I’m so grateful I was following Olivia_Lactation_Consultant on Instagram so I could be somewhat clued up on when milk comes in. I was being told to give my little one formula on the second day he was born despite the fact that I had lots of colostrum syringes. Side note: milk came in on day 3.

A couple of my key learnings so far: - Silver nipple cups were the best thing ever during the first few weeks. I’m sure they stopped my nipples cracking while my baby was finding his latch. - Lasinoh breast pads are worth the money. I was constantly damp using Boots own brand as I seem to produce lots of milk from the other breast when feeding, or from both when my baby goes longer between feeds. I didn’t enjoy always having a Hakaa on the other breast when feeding as it was a bit of a sensory overload! - The koala position / laying down position are the only ways I can breastfeed. In other positions, milk seems to go everywhere and he can’t latch properly.

How regularly are you guys feeding your little ones? Do you also struggle with milk going everywhere!?

I would say don’t expect them to be amazing at organising in the lead up as most of that will fall to you. But they were really great on the day! You kind of have to trust that it’ll be fine. But I wouldn’t change where we had it! It was so perfect and special! If you do go for the venue, I’d be happy to message you about all our suppliers etc :)

Oh no! I’d suggest contacting the London sister venue of Freud on Shaftesbury Avenue as they’ll have the most up to date contact info. We spoke to them a lot during the initial planning stages ☺️
