SUMMARY:Infant Feeding Support Groups
DESCRIPTION:No matter how you feed your baby\, we are here to help you learn how to recognise when your baby is hungry\, thirsty or needs comfort. \n\nOur friendly support groups are run by the Growing Healthy 0-25 team. Everyone is welcome including dads\, partners and other family members that support you and your baby. Older children (up to nursery age) are welcome too. \nThe sessions are drop-in\, and while we’d love you to stay and chat\, it is ok to just pop in and ask us a question. \nWhether you are breastfeeding\, bottle feeding (formula or expressed milk) or doing a mixture of both\, we are here to answer any questions you have about feeding and weaning your baby\, and you can talk to us about any worries or concerns you may have. \nWe can also offer advice and support to help you to continue to breastfeed if you are going back to work. \n\nYou can find a group near you on the link below \nInfant feeding support groups – Durham County Council
