About Breastfeedo

I’m Sophie Bennett, and I started Breastfeedo after breastfeeding my own two children.

Neither time was the calm, instinctive experience I had pictured. The early days with my first were genuinely hard: a shallow latch that left me dreading every feed, cracked nipples, mastitis at three weeks, and a stretch where I was sure my supply was failing. Almost none of it was the disaster it felt like at the time, but nobody had told me that. The good information existed, but it was scattered, clinical, or buried under judgement.

So I built the resource I wish I’d had, and I called it Breastfeedo: a friendlier name than the clinical sites I had been wading through, for a guide meant to feel like a steady friend who is a step ahead of you.

What this site covers

I write about the whole journey, in plain language and from real experience:

• Breastfeeding, the complete starting guide
• How to get a good latch, where most problems begin and end
• How breast milk supply works, the thing I most misunderstood
• Breastfeeding a newborn week by week, what it was really like

I don’t diagnose or give individual medical advice, and nothing here replaces support from your own midwife, health visitor, lactation consultant, or doctor.

How we keep it accurate

I’m a parent, not a clinician, so every article is reviewed before it’s published. Feeding and lactation topics are reviewed by a lactation consultant, Megan Foster, IBCLC, and the medical topics by a consultant paediatrician, Dr Amara Okafor. The lived experience is mine; the facts are checked by people qualified to check them. We cite authoritative sources, including the World Health Organization, UNICEF, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the CDC, and show the publication, last-updated, and review dates on every article. See our Editorial Policy for details.
