What our lovely clients are saying

Breastfeeding course

I attended the breastfeeding course online. I attended the session with barely any confidence and little knowledge to start with. By the end, the lovely ladies made me feel way more confident and really helped me learn more and answered a lot of my questions (without me even having to ask them). Now with only a couple of weeks before my little one arrives, I can’t thank them enough for helping me feel more prepared. I thoroughly recommend their sessions!

Breastfeeding Course

I really enjoyed last nights session. It was really informative and put so many questions I had in my mind, at ease. Sophie was really clear and came across very down-to-earth and didn’t speak jargon at me (which I have found in another session elsewhere).

Breastfeeding course

I recently attended the online ‘introduction to breastfeeding’ course, led by Sophie. This was a really insightful, knowledgable hour of unbiased, science based evidence. Sophie covered everything from the science behind breastmilk, how much/little babies need and when, feeding positions, expressing and routines. Alongside the advice, there were opportunities to ask questions and the session generally felt very inclusive. Thank you Sophie, my notebook is now full!
