This week is Breastfeeding Celebration Week, and as such there are new online resources to help if you, or someone you know, are looking for help with breastfeeding.

Please visit https://www.nhs.uk/start4life/baby/breastfeeding/ for more details. There are useful sections of the site to help with breastfeeding, expressing, bottle feeding, maintaining a healthy diet, overcoming difficulties, and what to do when you need to return to work.

One new interesting tool is the 24/7 support service available to those with an Amazon Alexa or Google Home device. You can get answers to your questions, when you need them. Please visit https://www.nhs.uk/start4life/baby/breastfeeding/breastfeeding-help-and-support/ for more details.

We do have a local support service which can be accessed via your Health Visitor or Midwife. If you are struggling to get referred then you can contact the Infant Feeding Coordinator on 01926 495321, Extension 8584.
