The Breastfeeding Network

About

Our vision is a UK where mums, parents, families are able to make informed decisions about infant feeding, to access help when they need it and to become confident in their choices. For a new mum or parent deciding how to feed their baby, talking to a trained volunteer who knows about breastfeeding can be crucial. The Breastfeeding Network strives to be the best at what we do and support all who need us -without charge- UK-wide. Our mission is to offer evidence-based information and support, free from commercial interest, to help build awareness of breastfeeding amongst individuals and organisations and to support a parent in their choice to breastfeed. We do this through services run by fellow mums and parents that complement health services, our operation of the UK's 24/7 National Breastfeeding Helpline, the Drugs in Breast Milk Information Service, Breastfeeding Friendly Scheme and our accredited training for peers, professionals and organisations.
