Feeding your baby

You can get support if you have any problems feeding your baby, whether you are breastfeeding, bottle feeding or a combination.

If your child is under 12 months old, we can support you with:

  • feeding the right amount
  • pain or discomfort after breastfeeding
  • bottle feeding and making up formula
  • connecting you with other parents

One-to-one support

If you need one-to-one support or are unable to attend a group, we can visit you at home or talk over the phone.

To find out what support is available:

Our phone line is available from Monday to Friday, 9am to 3pm. If you leave an answer phone message, we aim to respond to you by the next working day.

Join our free parent courses to help you adjust and overcome common challenges:

  • Starting Solids Next Steps, for babies who have started solids and are under 1 year old
