Mother Portraits

Mothers from the Holding Time project across the country, talk about their experiences of breastfeeding.

I felt like I was being made to choose between how I feed my child and my job

I’ve breastfed all of mine and I’ve had really different experiences

I’m really grateful for having that time

I think feeding is under-discussed, and new mums don’t get enough information

People said it would hurt because I wasn’t used to it, but it just didn’t feel right

I think I think stopping breastfeeding will really affect me mentally I need to keep going

It was a huge fumble and not this amazing euphoric experience, but it was amazing to do

Don’t quit on a bad day. That was some of the best advice I got

I didn’t know that you can still breastfeed while pregnant and actually tandem feed

The most important thing is your well-being and your child’s well-being

Every single one of the three babies couldn’t have been more different

The support from my mum and my husband was probably what kept me going

I grew up seeing breastfeeding everywhere…

They were like angels. I wasn’t expecting miracles

When I was feeding her I felt safe

I wanted to be with my mum but I needed to be with him as well

I was like, I can’t do this anymore
