Feeding your baby can seem like such a simple thing to do when you’re pregnant, but for many people it proves a challenge. As with birth, preparation can make all the difference. It is no good waiting until your baby is crying with hunger, you are exhausted, engorged & hormonal before you start looking for support.
Many baby feeding clinics are volunteer led, so times can change and days can move. Please check all of these before you leave the house. Hopefully this list will help you when you need it most.
