World Breastfeeding Week

We understand that each mother’s infant feeding journey is unique. That’s why we are always on hand to provide support and information to Mums and Mums to be.

Ways in which we are here to help include:

We are part of the Breastfeeding Friendly Scotland Accreditation Scheme. Parents are protected by the law in Scotland to feed their babies anywhere they choose. The scheme give families that extra reassurance that all staff and volunteers at HSGS protect the right for babies to be fed in public spaces and provide a warm, welcoming place for them to do so.

Having a trained Peer Support Worker from The Breastfeeding Network available at our Warm Places to provide advice and support around Infant Feeding

Having staff and volunteers undertake ‘First Milk Matters’ training to better understand infant feeding and the challenges that it can bring for families

Providing specialist Perinatal 1-1 and volunteer support to families

Being able to sign post families to other organisations who provide advice around Infant Feeding.

We support all parents and their choices in infant feeding, recognising the love and care that goes into every decision
