Cuppa and cake to celebrate breastfeeding
Health visitors at Rotherham Doncaster and South Humber NHS Foundation Trust (RDaSH) will be marking the week, which runs from September 18 – 24, at Breast Start Groups across the city.
The groups are an ideal place for mums to make new friends, get accurate breast-feeding advice and share the ups and downs of feeding and caring for a new baby. Experienced professionals are always on hand to offer support and tips around caring for a baby and family health.
Claire Wyatt, the Doncaster Infant Feeding Lead Health Visitor, said: “Breast milk is the best start to a baby’s life. Some new mums need to learn the skill of how to feed effectively in a comfortable way and this can take time and patience. The breast start groups are here to provide support and guidance to all mums who choose to offer breast milk to their babies.”

- Monday – The Scout Hut, Anchorage Lane, Sprotbrough - 9.30am -11am
