Breast Feeding Service (NHS Fife)

Breastfeeding Support Workers work alongside midwives and Health Visitors to provide additional support for breastfeeding. The service aims to contact all breastfeeding mothers shortly after discharge from hospital to offer support. This support can be by telephone, home visit or email / text messages.

Referral can also be made to the service by midwives, health visitors or mothers can contact the service themselves at any point in their breastfeeding journey. A visit to discuss infant feeding choices, preparing for the early days and getting breastfeeding off to a good start can also be arranged antenatally.

Any pregnant / breastfeeding mother / family.
