Additional Information
Breast milk is both healthy food and natural medicine for your baby. Breastfeeding is a skill you learn over time. A mother and her baby usually take a few weeks to get used to breastfeeding. Your family, friends and the baby’s father can support and help you when you’re breastfeeding.
If you are having problems breastfeeding, you can get help from health professionals in hospital or at home and support from local breastfeeding groups. In hospital after the birth, your midwife can give you practical advice about breastfeeding. They can also visit you at home in the first month. After this, your health visitor will give you information and reassurance about breastfeeding.
There is lots of advice guidance on the Breastfeeding support website.
