Testimonials
“Absolutely recommend” (Solihull, 2018)
“I literally think of you almost every day because ever since I saw you my breastfeeding journey MASSIVELY improved! 🥰 -no more mastitis only the very occasional bleb. (I wish I saw you sooner!) So grateful. Thank you so much again. ❤️ Still boobing away of course and baby is still a huge boob monster but I’m loving it. 🥰 So glad I have your contact in case I need you again. ” mum from Worcester, 2021
