It is our experience that many questions arise when you come home from the hospital.

Many mothers today need help and support with breastfeeding. Partly because it is normal to have a difficult start where many questions arise and partially because families today are discharged sooner.

This means that the advice and guidance, which is a natural need in starting and establishing breastfeeding – and which previously had a high priority in the public health service – is no longer available in the same way.

This means that most families are discharged from the hospital before the milk has come in, and our experience is that this is when you need the most help and support.

When you are a new mum and don’t know if you are doing things right and have been given conflicting advice, you often need good advice and ideas. Maybe you had a bad experience with breastfeeding previously. 

Other times, the need is more specific because there is uncertainty about the amount of milk, whether the suckling technique is correct, whether the baby has gained enough weight, expression, mastitis, thrush on the nipples, and several other completely normal problems which require help and guidance.

As midwives and postnatal nurses, we have much experience with breastfeeding and newborns. We offer professional help, assistance, support, and guidance regarding breastfeeding positions, techniques, and suckling techniques, which are vital for successfully establishing breastfeeding. This is not least an important factor in making the first time with your baby peaceful and secure. This will also give you a more content baby who cries significantly less.
