Breastfeeding

Swindon Borough Council, local health providers, voluntary organisations, breastfeeding charities and peer supporters are working together to improve the support available for breastfeeding and infant feeding.

You can get help and advice from your midwife or health visiting team.

There are also breastfeeding support groups in Swindon called Breastmates. These are informal drop-in groups where breastfeeding parents can meet others for a drink, chat and if needed, gain support with breastfeeding.

The groups are run by a mix of professionals, breastfeeding counsellors and peer supporters (mothers who have breastfed and received training).

For more details see the Breastmates webpage.
