Feeding your baby is one of the most important things you will do, but it’s not always straightforward. It can help to get support and talk to others who are going through the same things you are.

Come along to one of our infant feeding support groups to chat to other parents and friendly staff about infant feeding. Does baby always seem hungry? Do night feeds seem endless? Is breastfeeding going well or are you finding it difficult? Do you know when and how to introduce solid foods?

You’re welcome to drop in to a group at your local Family Hub for a chat and a cuppa with other parents who are going through the same experiences as you.

Find out more about infant feeding groups and other support here: Information on Halton Council's infant feeding service
