The Infant Feeding Team provides support to parents and staff where there are infant feeding difficulties.
- We offer referral to services which offer infant feeding support.
- We offer the use of interpreters for parents where English is not their first language
We have a team that works across maternity, neonatal and paediatric services. We can also respond to other wards who require support with infant feeding.
We have a role in training staff with infant feeding so they can confidently support parents when we are not working.
We are a seven-day service except for bank holidays; mostly work 0730-1800 hours.
We are also able to refer to other services who support infant feeding.
We also run the Tongue Tie Service – please see our Tongue Tie Service page for further information.
