While I found both midwives and health visitors to be helpful and friendly, I think Rebecca has a completely different and really warm way to impart knowledge and support for breastfeeding mothers. I think that even after just the first visit with her I felt a lot better emotionally, additionally to being much more informed. For anyone with issues or doubts during the first few weeks post-partum such a warm and human approach is best. I am now two months in and can see myself go for the whole recommended breastfeeding period, when initially I worried I might never get the hang of it! I wish the role of doulas is more well known, if they all make such a difference as Rebecca did for me, many more mothers would have a great experience.
