Feeding Your Baby

We welcome all parents, whether you breast-feed or bottle-feed your baby.

If you decide to breastfeed, our breastfeeding counsellor is on hand to help you. We do believe that breast milk is the best, more nutritious, available instantly, at no extra cost.

However, although breastfeeding may be natural, it's not always plain sailing, and is a skill to be learned. Our Breastfeeding Counsellor is there to listen as well as offer information and ideas. The Cousellor is also available at the end of a phone, or in person, and has been trained by the NCT to offer support and encouragement to any mother who might be experiencing difficulties.

You can get in touch with the local Breastfeeding Counsellor, Jude McCarthy, on 01353 776187. During anti-social hours please call the NCT Breastfeeding line on 0870 444 8708.

You do not need to be an NCT member to call either of these numbers.
