The Voice of Spalding and South Holland
Mothers and families in Lincolnshire now have access to a wealth of information about breastfeeding, thanks to a new website.
Details about feeding patterns, cues, how to express and how to support your partner are among the top tips available at the click of a button any time of the day or night on the website launched by Lincolnshire Community Health Services NHS Trust (LCHS).
The website has been developed with insight from the trust’s infant feeding coordinators, who offer specialist advice to parents across Lincolnshire, and from the experiences of members of the county’s Breaststart groups.
Its launch coincided with celebrations for World Breastfeeding Awareness Week, which ran from August 1 until today.
Mandy Street, infant feeding coordinator at LCHS, said: “We are delighted to be able to recognise the importance of enabling mothers and their families to have easy access to current breastfeeding information.
“This will help them to continue to enjoy their breastfeeding experiences for longer and gain all of the associated health benefits.”
