Breastfeeding your baby

Lots of skin to skin contact and offering the breast freely, is perfect to get breastfeeding started & helps bonding with your baby. Breastfeeding is a new skill for both you and your baby to learn. Some mums and babies get the hang of breastfeeding straight away. However, some may take a little more time and practice.
In Barnsley we have lots of support available from:
• Midwives
• Health Visitors
• Infant Feeding Team
• Infant Feeding Peer Supporters
• Infant Feeding Clinical Lead
