Breastfeeding and Infant Feeding – Warrington

General introduction

We help both new and experienced parents who need common feeding issues that require more specialist input than the initial support provided by midwives and health visitors in the first months and year of life.

We work closely with other professionals to ensure that parents, carers and professionals are supported on all aspects of infant feeding:

breastfeeding peer support service
public health nurse teams (health visitors, staff nurses, nursery nurses and clinic nurses)
midwives
children’s centre teams
GPs
local councils

You can also access infant feeding support and education through your midwife, health visitor, local clinics and children’s centres. These services are available during pregnancy and after your baby is born.

How to access this service

Infant feeding support for send parents

If you are a SEND parent, the Warrington 0-19 Infant Feeding Team understands that feeding a new baby can sometimes feel challenging, and we are here to support you.

The team offers infant‑feeding support for all families, including parents with special educational needs and disabilities. Support is available through home visits, health clinics and community‑based services.

We can help with all feeding choices – breastfeeding, bottle‑feeding or mixed feeding – and are committed to making sure you feel confident and supported.

For more information or to access support, you can contact the Warrington Infant Feeding Team, or ask your midwife or health visitor to refer you.
