“Breastfeeding wasn’t as straightforward as I thought it was going to be, but with the support of the breastfeeding programme, I was able to overcome that challenge and now enjoy a special time with my child.” (A. Nathan)
Breastfeeding is a beautifully natural expression of love between a mother and child. It builds a bond between them, nurtures a child’s development, and helps with mum’s recovery. The wonderful staff of the Te Rarawa Breastfeeding programme are here to support you.
