Further Information
It can take a little while in the early weeks for the baby to learn how to breastfeed effectively. Many mothers find some support with breastfeeding helpful. This can be at any time, from pregnancy and getting started, to your child抯 final breastfeeds.
�
You can access breastfeeding support:
�
- By talking to your midwife or health visitor who may either provide information and support themselves, or advise you about breastfeeding drop-in sessions or telephone support lines
- By calling in at a breastfeeding drop in to talk to a peer supporter
- By booking into a face to face or online drop in with Breastfeeding network in Haringey
- By calling one of the national support lines. Talking to a trained peer supporter can often help mothers breastfeed their baby comfortably and manage any difficulties they might encounter.
