Breastfeeding
Practical, judgement-free breastfeeding help — latch and positioning, the first week, supply, and the common bumps like sore nipples and mastitis. Fed is best, and most challenges are workable with support.

All breastfeeding guides
A comfortable latch and position
A calm, practical guide to settling your baby into a deep, comfortable latch so feeds feel easier for both of you.
Blocked ducts and mastitis
Sore, red, lumpy breasts can usually be eased at home by keeping milk moving gently — and we'll show you the signs that mean it's time to call for help.
Breastfeeding in the first week
The first week is all about colostrum, frequent feeds and trusting that small, sleepy beginnings are exactly how feeding is meant to start.
Cluster feeding: when baby wants to feed constantly
Those long evening stretches where baby feeds again and again are normal, healthy, and won't last forever.
Combination feeding (breast + bottle)
Mixing breastfeeding and bottles can give your family flexibility and rest, and there are gentle ways to do it while protecting your supply.
Dropping night feeds
When your baby is ready, you can gently phase out night feeds — and there's no rush to get there.
Is my baby getting enough milk?
If your baby is having regular wet and dirty nappies, gaining weight and settling after most feeds, the milk is very likely going in just fine.
Preparing to breastfeed before baby arrives
Simple things you can do in pregnancy to set breastfeeding up for a smoother start — no special purchases or nipple prep required.
Sore or painful nipples
Tender, cracked or painful nipples are common in the early weeks — and almost always fixable once you find the cause.
Understanding your milk supply
Your body makes milk in response to how often and how well it's removed — and a quiet pump session almost never tells the real story.
Vitamin D and supplements
A gentle look at why babies — especially breastfed ones — are often given a daily vitamin D drop, and when iron starts to matter.
Weaning from the breast
Weaning gently, one feed at a time, protects your supply, your comfort, and the closeness between you and your baby.
When baby feeds less than usual
A quieter feeding day is often harmless, but watching your baby's nappies and energy helps you know when to reach out.
