Massive thank you to FAB I spent an hour on the phone on bank Holiday night to a lovely lady who reassured me and tonight have spoken to another lovely lady. These ladies are patient, calm, knowledgeable and I honestly pick up the phone to ring FAB rather than the doctors every time. An amazing charity. 24/7 is just fantastic.. highly reccommend and would refer everyone I know. thank you for all your support words cannot express how grateful I am

I have just recently given birth to a beautiful baby boy. I feel so supported by F.A.B they have helped me tremendously. It can feel a very low time when first starting the breastfeeding journey and many times I have felt like a failure and didnt feel my boy was getting what he needed from me. Having the support from F.A.B I have learnt so much and also they have made the personal effort to call and check in see how we are. It's also having that person who knows how your feeling and can just give you that motivation you need to persevere if you feel you cant do it. It also having the knowledge from someone who knows themselves the hard work that it takes to get the best results for your baby. F.A.B is an amazing charity Thank you so much it mean so much the work you all do xxxxx

Amazing!! Couldn’t recommend the FAB girls & service they provide enough!! Thank you so much especially to Becky & Gayle who visited me at home recently and gave me so much reassurance and confidence about breastfeeding - as a first time mum I have found it difficult to begin with and worried that I wasn’t doing it right but the girls gave me so many good tips to take forward and I feel a lot better now. Prior to the home visit I have spoken to Lisa & Becky on the 24 hour hotline and I have found that so useful and supportive. Thank you FAB!!!!

We just wanted to say how brilliant the FAB team is. The support we have received from Amanda has been amazing and we probably wouldn’t have coped without her. We had some bad nights and our baby Elsie had been struggling to latch on. We called for help at 9am on Tuesday morning and Amanda was here within the hour!
You really are such a vital service as the midwives have such a busy schedule and couldn’t have spent half as long (and have the patience) to help us with succeeding with breastfeeding.
We understand that your funding arrangements are constantly under review and we would gladly write letters of support/fill out surveys to whoever it’s needed to ensure your service continuity. And of course it goes without saying we’ve made a donation already. You really are the 4th emergency service – there’d be no-one else to help new mums and dads.

I felt that the level of support available to new mums was excellent and delivered to exceptional levels by Amanda. When you are expecting you receive so many leaflets and are overloaded with information but finding the time to sit and wade through it all is sometimes a Unachievable task especially when you are faced with a new role like motherhood.
Having Amanda visit my home and explain things face to face, really helped me I learnt so much from her, I feel she went above and beyond with the level of care and teaching she delivered even spending time on her day off researching my specific needs.
I’d like to congratulate your team especially Amanda and hope that this valuable service continues for all future mums.
They are right when they say babies don’t come with a manual.. It’s even better, if your lucky they come with an Amanda which is FAB!!!

Hello! I just wanted to write and say a big thank you for all the help and support I have had from FAB over the past 11 months both at my home, on the phone and especially at the Sure Start Children’s Centre in Gawthorpe, Ossett. I am happy to say with your help I breastfed my son Thomas for 6 and a half months, he is now weaning successfully and has had no colds so far which I put down to the breastfeeding.
I do hope FAB carry on providing breastfeeding support in the area as I have unfortunately found too many people (midwives included) only too quick to try and get mothers feeding their babies from the bottle. I had experience with one who said it would confuse a baby if it is given bottle and breast and you must choose, well for me this was absolute rubbish, Thomas had to have top up milk from birth as my milk didn’t come through until day 4, and he wouldn’t latch on to my breast at all, however with perseverance and a little help from a nipple shield he eventually latched on and fed from my breast successfully. I hope other mothers would be encouraged by my story so feel free to print it or use it on your website.
Once again many thanks.
