Breastfeeding Support

Breastfeeding is a skill that you and your baby learn

Newborn babies have instincts that help them to breastfeed and mothers have instincts too – but many of us have seen more bottle-feeding than breastfeeding and feel uncertain what to do.’

Breastfeeding may seem a bit awkward at first but don't worry if you don't get the hang of it straightaway. Try to be patient and ask for help if you need it. Gradually, you and your baby will both become expert at this new skill. Have a look below at all of the breastfeeding support on offer in the Wirral area.
