Our vision is a society where all mums, parents and families are able to make informed decisions about breastfeeding, to access high quality support when they need it, and to become confident in their choices.
For a new mum or parent deciding how to feed their baby, talking to a trained volunteer when they need support most, can make a crucial difference. In the UK 8 out of 10 mothers stop breastfeeding before they want to. This figure is much higher in communities where families face high levels of poverty and deprivation. The Breastfeeding Network strives to achieve the highest quality standards of support and make our services available to those who need them most.
We offer independent, evidence-based information and support to women and families on infant feeding and we help to build wider understanding of breastfeeding in society.
Our values are at the heart of how we work, we strive to always:
- Listen actively
- Keep a mum or parent at the centre
- Respect a parent and support their choices
- Share the evidence to inform early parenting choices
- Offer information and support that is free from any commercial interest in infant feeding
We have been supporting UK mothers and families with infant feeding since 1997.
Our vital support and information is independent and evidence-based. We do not accept sponsorship from commercial companies linked to infant feeding.
Our life-changing services are only possible because of the grants, subscriptions, donations and fundraising we receive.
