Feeding your baby
As a maternity unit we will support you with your infant feeding choices.
We have worked closely with our mums and have put together some information to help and support you in your infant feeding journey.

The Breastfeeding Friend, a digital tool from Start for Life, offers practical information and advice on breastfeeding.
Get answers to questions asked by new mums, and tips on things like sore nipples and what to do if your baby cries during feeds.
