Feedback from clients

“Hi Cordelia, I wanted to share the following with you and to further express my gratitude: I am so enjoying breastfeeding Joseph and really want to thank you. Your support and expertise has been invaluable to us. I have more knowledge and confidence than I ever could have hoped, and you have been hugely instrumental to that. My eyes are welling up a little as write this!!  There were a lot of obstacles that stood in the way -  being admitted to hospital in the early days, needing to go back to work so early, (just over 1 month after Joseph was born). Having issues with my abdomen and experiencing discomfort whilst feeding. There were many times I felt incapable and questioned myself and times when I thought I was failing miserably, but resolved to never give up.  Your compassionate and solution-focused support helped me to feel empowered that it was possible and that I could find a way!! Joseph’s most recent measurements on 23rd December (at 5 months old) were: 8.7 kg (91st centile), Length 70 cm (98th centile) and Head Circumference 44 cm (91st centile). The paediatrician was astonished that he was entirely breastfed ! Just sat here this morning feeling very grateful 😊 xx”

After attending your NCT Zoom sessions on breastfeeding we just wanted to say a huge thank you for all of the amazing information and wisdom you imparted. Since finishing for maternity leave I've had the chance to look through all of the information you've sent and recommended and it's been brilliant knowing I'm gaining information from a reliable source, when there's so much info out there. Thank you for going above and beyond with helping us feel equipped for the breastfeeding journey ahead of us.“

“Thank you so much for the two sessions you held for us over the past week. It was so helpful and your knowledge is endless! We feel that we have a much better understanding of feeding for baby and me - and it's incredibly reassuring to know that you are available to contact if we have any difficulties. Feeling positive and excited for what will hopefully be a wonderful experience - huge thanks to you.”

“Hi Cordelia, I just wanted to message to say a huge big thank you for all your help with breastfeeding. I’ve just decided to stop feeding my second son (who is just about to turn 17 months) so it feels a bit like the end of an era and I’ve been thinking back over my breastfeeding journey. Especially all those visits to the drop in when my first son was born and the help from you and Angie and everyone else. I can 100% say if it hadn’t have been for doing the NCT breastfeeding session with you, and getting that early help with my first when things were so bad I know I wouldn’t have continued feeding him. I still remember how desperate I felt when we were finally discharged from hospital and the pain was so unbearable I wasn’t sure I could even keep on feeding him until the next drop in and you offered me an appointment the next morning. It was an absolute lifesaver! I fed him until he was 14 months and my second son is just about to be 17 months, so two more success stories for you and the drop in. I have absolutely loved feeding them and feel so lucky to have got the help that I needed to enable me to do it. I’ve also been able to help and signpost so many friends with all the information on the Padlets that you sent, and especially for the ones who didn’t do an NCT group, helped them get an IBCLC as they didn’t even know these people existed! So thank you so so much again, I will be eternally grateful for all the help from you and the drop in ladies for giving me that amazing breastfeeding experience I’ve had with my two boys.”

“My son turned 6 months old on Tuesday - may I please be added to NWL Breastfeeding - 6 months and beyond? We’ve been exclusively breastfeeding since day 1 and the entire experience has exceeded my expectations thanks to the foundation you provided through the NCT course and then the ongoing support from the Facebook group NWL Breastfeeding.”

“Hi Cordelia. I attended your Blossom breast feeding course and then my partner and I both attended your course through our NCT course. I just wanted to say thank you! Our baby Arthur is now 12 days old and is feeding so well. We found it quite easy to establish breastfeeding and this is thanks to all the knowledge you gave us! Knowing that you were available for support should we need it really out my mind at ease. It just feels so natural and I love how connected it makes me feel to him. We are over the moon! Thank you.”

“I wanted to drop you a line to say how much Tom and I thoroughly enjoying the session yesterday and it was an absolute pleasure meeting you.  You welcomed us into your beautiful home and we both felt so at ease instantly. As I am sure you could tell Tom and I are so excited for this adventure and can’t wait for the baby to be here!

Breastfeeding is something that I really want to do, and Tom is fully supportive so was great to share yesterday together and get to understand not only the health benefits but to understand the positioning, the animalistic instincts the baby has and how much Tom can still be involved which is really important to me.”

- Lauren

“Thanks so much for the session on Wednesday and for all the follow up information. It was such an informative, fascinating and encouraging day. It was good too that you were so insistent in advance that it was worthwhile for dads to come too - Rory wouldn't have come otherwise and we both ended up very glad he did”.

- Ella

“Andrew and I wanted to thank you for an informative and enjoyable session on breastfeeding as part of our NCT course. We have had so much to digest and think about... we are still discussing the points you raised and working out how best to implement them when our baby arrives. It is a great comfort to us to know that your drop-in sessions are there should we need them.”

It is also great to know that there is such a great support available nearby. I will have a look to the links, and I hope we will see each other again at some of the drop-in Tuesdays.”

“Thanks on my part for the very informative and refreshingly evidence-based day (and follow-up emails).  Although I consider myself to be open-minded, I even found some of my pre-conceived ideas and knowledge challenged and which is an excellent thing.”

“I just wanted to say thank you for yesterday. Adam and I thoroughly enjoyed the morning and took away some fantastic advice.  Everything seemed so logical when we talked through it like we did. I felt very confident and relaxed about breastfeeding by the end of the course and great to know are on hand if we need any further help/advice.”
