Infant Feeding

We believe that breastfeeding is the healthiest option for both you and your baby, and the hospital operates a breastfeeding policy that supports parents and provides recommendations for breastfeeding in the early days. We have a dedicated team who can advise and support you in the choices you make regarding infant feeding.

They provide antenatal infant feeding workshops, which can be booked via the antenatal office, and work in conjunction with all the maternity team to support your needs on the postnatal ward, utilising the Baby Friendly Initiative principles.

You can call the National Breastfeeding Helpline on 0300 100 0212 or visit the UNICEF website / NCT website.
