Today I finished my training to become a breastfeeding peer supporter. It was a really enjoyable and interesting course and I highly recommend it to anyone who is passionate about breastfeeding. It was run by Healthy Babies UK through my local Sure Start centre.
I hope to be able to use the course to help new Mums through the tough early days and weeks, and particularly support them when they are returning to work and want to continue their breastfeeding relationship. I went back to work when Oscar was 11 months, and kept feeding several times a day (and night!) until 19 months.
I have also completed a babywearing peer supporter course through the School of Babywearing.
