Calderdale Breastfeeding Support Network

Mums who are breastfeeding may, at times, need some extra help and support and that is where the Calderdale Breastfeeding Support Network can help.

The network is made up of women who have breastfed their own children and who work as volunteers alongside other health professionals to offer support to breastfeeding mums.

All Peer Supporters have received training and can offer information during pregnancy and friendly, non-judgemental support after baby’s birth.

A Peer Supporter can offer you:

• Time in which to give any help you need with breastfeeding
• Help in getting the baby latched on properly
• More information about breastfeeding difficulties and how to overcome them
• Telephone support to any breastfeeding woman
• Social networking, befriending and contact with other breastfeeding women
• Support at local breastfeeding groups
• Support at Baby Café, Children’s Centre groups, antenatal clinics and hospitals.
