WEBSITE OF THE WEEK

The Breastfeeding Network aims to be an independent source of support and information for breastfeeding women and others.

It aims to promote breastfeeding and provide a greater understanding of the practice.

It collects and disseminates information on breastfeeding and baby and infant nutrition. It provides information and support to parents on the feeding of babies and infants. It sets and encourages the acceptance of quality standards for breastfeeding support. It establishes and publishes codes of practice. At the centre of the group’s work are mums and babies. It also works very closely with dads, grandparents, uncles, aunts, health professionals and anyone else involved in a mother’s care. This vital network of close and trusted people helps a new mum and family in the early days.
