NCT Breastfeeding Line
The NCT Infant Feeding Line is available to all on 0300 33 00 700 (option 1). The line is open 8am to midnight, seven days a week (including Bank Holidays).
Breastfeeding is a new skill to learn and we all need help and support in learning new things. If you are finding it painful or if you have any questions at all about breastfeeding help, stopping breastfeeding, expressing milk or any infant feeding related matter, do give us a call. Counsellors love to hear from new mums and new mums tell us just how much they appreciate the support counsellors give.
