Infant Feeding
Feeding your baby is an important part of building connection, confidence, and wellbeing – and we’re here to support you every step of the way.
Our Infant Feeding Team includes Health Visitors, Nurses, Support Workers and administrators who specialise in providing compassionate, evidence-based feeding support to families across Warwickshire. This support is completely free and available from pregnancy through to toddlerhood.
How we can help
We offer a range of support based on your individual needs, including:
- Antenatal information and preparation for feeding your baby
- Support with positioning, attachment and responsive feeding
- Guidance on expressing, milk supply and effective milk transfer
- Advice on mixed, formula and breastfeeding journeys
- Support with infant behaviour, bonding and building close and loving relationships
- Telephone/video/text guidance for babies up to 8 weeks of age, and face to face at our breast feeding support groups for babies of all ages
- Training and learning opportunities for health professionals
- Opportunities for volunteers interested in supporting local families
Following an initial conversation, we’ll work with you to create a personalised package of care that feels right for you and your baby.
