Breastfeeding Support In Tower Hamlets
Description
Service Description
The Baby Feeding and Wellbeing Service offers support and information on all matters related to feeding your baby. If you live in Tower Hamlets or gave birth at the Royal London Hospital, you can access our support whether you're breastfeeding, bottle feeding or mix feeding.
The team is made up of Baby Feeding Specialists - local mothers who have breastfed their own children, speak Sylheti/Bengali, Somali as well as English and have received specialist training to support other mothers.
We offer 2-hour “Getting Ready to Breastfeed” antenatal workshops to help you prepare for feeding your baby. Please book your place on Eventbrite: ?? Book here
We support mothers on the postnatal ward at the Royal London Hospital and offer 1:1 appointments at Children & Family Centres and home visits to help families get off to a good start in the early days of feeding.
We also run six weekly breastfeeding drop-in groups. No booking is required, just turn up. Full details can be found at: ?? www.thfamilyhubs.co.uk
?? To speak to a member of the team, request a 1:1 appointment or book a home visit, call 07961 609626. Calls will be returned by the next working day.
