Breastfeeding Awareness Week

September/October 2024

National Breastfeeding Week is this week (18-24 September) and focuses on the theme: ‘Everyone has a part to play in helping mums to breastfeed’.

If you work with new parents or carers, please help spread the word about all of the support available in Newham. We have a dedicated baby feeding helpline which provides skilled help and support on feeding babies or toddlers up to three years.

Parents or carers can call or text the helpline seven days a week on 07534 249 611 or email [email protected] for help with breastfeeding, bottle feeding, mixed feeding, introducing solids and breastfeeding while returning to work.
