Health visiting support with feeding

There are a number of infant feeding sessions offering breastfeeding advice and support. These sessions also offer facilities to weigh baby and health advice for mother and baby. Health visitors and midwives are available at these sessions. One to one breastfeeding support is also available on request, at home or at the postnatal group.

If you are a mother who has enjoyed breastfeeding, please look into the ‘La Leche breastfeeding peer counselling training programme’. This training programme offers mothers who have experience breastfeeding three months training to use their valuable experience to help support new mothers.
