What to say to your friend who has anxiety around breastfeeding

Written By Genevieve Dreizen

These scripts should serve as a guide for tough, trying, and tremendous life moments.

We’re here to support you in supporting your people. We’re proud of you. And we’ve got you.

Here’s what to say when you don’t know what to say.

Oh babe, breastfeeding can be so difficult, you are so, so not alone. It's totally normal to be overwhelmed, touched out, confused, all the things!! Just please remember this: whatever you decide to do for you and the baby is the right decision. Most importantly, remember that you are loved, supported, and an amazing mother. You are doing a fantastic job, and we are all so proud of you.

Text these scripts, email them, leave them as a voicemail, or as the basis of a phone call or conversation in person. These scripts can be used over and over and across all platforms. We hope they help. We want to support you so that you can support your people.
