Parent Comments following Home Safety Visit:
“ I found the home safety visit really helpful.  I contacted a Community Involvement Worker and booked the visit.  She came out to visit me and helped me to identify changes to keep my baby safe.  I have moved medicines out of reach and also have contacted the Fire Service to fit a free smoke alarm.”

“The Starter pack and Home Safety equipment is great value and staff are so helpful.”

Parent Case Study about her support from the Breastfeeding Advisor:
“….Jeanette spoke to me over the telephone, I explained to her that I was in pain and within a few hours she came to my house. She had explained to me the importance of latching and showed me more comfortable ways to latch and unlatch my baby to the nipple.which made feeding less painful ….Earlier in the year I did the Breast Feeding Support Worker course because I felt very strongly that I would like to give back to other women. My journey has made me realise it is so important to give new mums support in breastfeeding.

“ I would have given up feeding a long time ago if it wasn’t for my breastfeeding support worker.”
