It’s World Breastfeeding Week

August 5, 2021

In the UK 80 per cent of people who breastfeed stop before they want to. We want to support all women and birthing people to make informed feeding choices and reach their feeding goals. Women are more likely to reach their feeding goals if they have the right support.

All colleagues in our maternity department are trained to provide feeding support. The infant feeding team can provide extra support to manage challenges and concerns before and after a baby is born and if things don’t go to plan with feeding, the team are available for support. The team can be contacted by calling 07816 061633.

Be sure to check out this short video which looks at different ways in which mums are able to breastfeed comfortably. The film has been created by the Infant Feeding team at the Trust.
