Breastfeeding policy

Knowing what to expect in terms of feeding your baby, should help you feel as confident as possible when you have just given birth.

Antenatal sessions, whether held by the NHS or another organisation, should cover the most important aspects of infant feeding, such as attachment, positioning, expressing, common questions and concerns, and how to overcome them.
