What?
Some mums and babies get the hang of breastfeeding straight away, but some may take a little more time. We provide expectant parents and new families with support around breastfeeding, infant feeding and building early close loving relationships.
If you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, why not come along to one of our breastfeeding groups.
You’ll have an opportunity to meet your Infant Feeding Worker and other families to share experiences, discuss concerns, gain confidence in feeding out and about and make friends for life.
