You're looking after your baby ... who's looking after you?

Feeding your baby is supposed to feel natural - but for so many of us, it doesn't. Between the hormones, birth recovery and the pressure to 'get it right', breastfeeding can feel overwhelming, isolating and impossibly hard. Enter Danielle Facey, The Breastfeeding Mentor, with this no-judgement, evidence-based guide to help you start - and end - your breastfeeding/pumping journey feeling fully informed and supported.

The Breastfeeding Survival Guide will help you:

• Feel confident about your choices
• Understand and navigate the challenges of establishing feeding, and overcome common problems
• Plan your return to work if you want to keep breastfeeding
• Wean your baby or toddler in a gentle way when it's time to stop

Whether your breastfeeding journey lasts three weeks or three years, this book will remind you that you're not alone - and that your needs matter too. With warmth, wisdom and heart, Danielle helps you not only survive, but thrive.
