Breastfeeding and infant feeding support is available to all families living in the Northern Trust area.

Breastfeeding gives your baby the best possible start in life. Breast milk does more than provide nutrition – it also contains important protective elements that help build your baby’s immune system and support their overall health.

Although breastfeeding is natural, it can take time to learn. You are not expected to do it alone – a range of support services is available across the Northern Trust to help you.

You can access face-to-face breastfeeding support through local groups run by Sure Start and the Health Visiting Service in your area.
