Ever wondered what the difference is between a breastfeeding counsellor and a peer supporter? Turns out these titles all have specific meanings, different levels of specialism, knowledge and experience. Also turns out that Jen knows all about the differences. So Amy sits back and lets Jen explain all you need to know!
This is an episode for really valuing those specialist breastfeeding colleagues we work with; for knowing our limitations and for recruiting extra support when families need it.
If your area doesn't have good enough access to specialist breastfeeding roles feel free to use this episode to underline their importance to commissioners and service leads and advocate for your families.
