We will work with parents currently in antenatal and postnatal stages (focused on the first 6 months of life – but open to any family) who have questions about breastfeeding past this age, as WHO recommends breastfeeding until at least 2 years of age).
As part of the Start for Life initiative, our team in Barking & Dagenham will be supported by a committed and diverse network of volunteer breastfeeding peer supporters who will be trained to provide advice when it’s needed, as well as provide face-to-face and online breastfeeding support sessions.
