Done!

There are a few sites that have helplines, I'm sure LaLeche is one of them. They're direct lines to peoples houses so are only available between 10am and 8pm (for example) but the ladies all have experience in counselling breastfeeding Mums who are struggling. Probably no use for you Sunshine in SE Asia but may be helpful to someone a little closer to home.

Thanks Sunshine and Bells. I found NCT breastfeeding counsellor invaluable - she had over 30 years of experience and seemed to be able to see down the telephone line! I'd recommend them to anyone. They also do a service where a consellor will come to your home and literally sit through your feeding from start to finish and offer guidance.

Found this website which has some amazing expressing machinery! I got one of their bras now I've gone up 3 sizes 8o and the support is fantastic. www.expressyourselfmums.co.uk.

Some of the cost you pay goes to charity and there is also a bit on the site for completing a petition for legislation to better support breastfeeding.

ABM (Association of breastfeeding mothers) was founded in 1979 by a group of mothers experienced in breastfeeding counselling. It gained charity status in 1980 since when it continues to grow throughout UK. Members are mainly mothers who are or have breastfed their babies. Others include health professionals such as midwives and health visitors.
It is the aim of ABM to promote the physical and psychological health of mothers and children through education in the techniques of breastfeeding, and to advance the education of the public on the health benefits of breastfeeding. It offers help through Counsellors, and Mother Supporters, operates a 24 hour national telephone helpline (020 7 813 1481), offers conselling by letter or email (info@abm.me.uk) and if necessary/practical home visits can be arranged. It also runs a comprehensive website (http://www.abm.me.uk) offering information, research findings, articles, contacts, tips and other related items of interest.
ABM relies on grants, donations and subscriptions to sustain these activities.
