Celebrating Breastfeeding Week 1st – 7th June 2020
The theme for this year’s Celebrating Breastfeeding Week is ‘Promoting and supporting breastfeeding during the Covid-19 pandemic’.
The Infant Feeding Team at NDHT has been working hard to adapt its resources and services to meet the current challenges, and as part of celebrating breastfeeding week, we are launching our breastfeeding workshop as an online recording.
We now have a dedicated Infant Feeding Clinic 3 days a week.
You can be referred into our Infant Feeding Clinic by your midwife to receive focused feeding support via video or telephone call.
