The Breastfeeding Network (BFN)

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

 

It aims to:

  • Inform, educate and support families in feeding and nurturing babies and young children;
  • Enable communities to support breastfeeding through sharing information, training and volunteering;
  • Contribute to evidence based policymaking for government, healthcare providers and educators;
  • Promote the mental and physical wellbeing of mothers and babies through supporting breastfeeding
  •  

The National Breastfeeding Helpline is open 24 hours a day every single day of the year, offering non-judgemental, evidence based, friendly breastfeeding support and information to anyone in the UK who needs it.

 

We have a wide range of leaflets and factsheets on the website providing independent, evidence-based information along with lots of other resources you may find useful.

 

We have a team of trained volunteers available to offer support via Facebook and Instagram.
