Breastfeeding
We recognise that breastfeeding is the best source of nutrition for babies.
It also contains disease-fighting vitamins and nutrients which can help protect children from illness throughout their lives.
We want to encourage mums in the Rochdale borough to feel comfortable taking up breastfeeding and continue confidently for as long as they want to.
- National Childbirth Trust (NCT) - information, advice and peer support to help mums with breastfeeding.
- The Start4Life BreastFeeding Friend chatbot - do you have any questions or concerns about breastfeeding? The BreastFeeding Friend (BFF) is here to support you at any time, day or night, to make breastfeeding a better experience and help you continue breastfeeding for as long as you want to.
