  • Perhaps try getting your partner or a relative or friend to make the first call, in case you need to leave a message, since you may be emotional and it can be hard to key yourself up to ring for support, then get an answerphone message.
  • These lines are staffed by volunteers, often mothers of small children, so it’s not always possible for them to have a long conversation with you at the time you ring. But rest assured, they are very keen to help you (after all, they’ve spent a long time training to be breastfeeding counsellors) and if you leave a message, somebody will ring you back. You are not putting them out, you are not being a nuisance and they DO want to help you, so, please, if you need help, ring them.
