Catherine

When I was feeding her I felt safe. I felt like I was protecting her, she was protecting me

Catherine talks about the stress of watching her 10-day-old fed on a radical weight gain programme in hospital and the impact it had on her mental health long term.

“I’m so passionate about breastfeeding now more so than ever and any new mum that starts breastfeeding I just want to help them i just want to support them I just want to do everything i can to because it’s lonely isn’t it and it can be quite isolating I feel protective over people who are having issues because if they don’t get that support i don’t want them to go through what I went through”.
