Baby Feeding Drop-ins at Rainbow Family Hub

The Community Infant Feeding Team offer friendly warm specialist and social support for all baby feeding issues. We are a multiprofessional team including volunteer support working across Bradford District.  We provide support with all breastfeeding and other feeding situations, whatever the age of your baby.

We understand that everyone’s baby feeding journey is unique and we would like to support you whether you are exclusively breastfeeding, mixed feeding, expressing or thinking about giving some breastmilk.

Whatever your feeding goals are, we are here to listen and provide evidenced based information and specialist support, to enable you to make the decisions that are right for you. Our sessions are relaxed and informal.

We can support you with:

• Understanding your baby’s feeding cues
• Getting a comfy latch and breastfeeding position
• What to do if breastfeeding is painful or your baby won’t latch
• Knowing if your baby is getting enough milk
• Feeding more often during busy feeding times
• Night‑time feeding and soothing
• Bottle‑feeding and mixed feeding
• Using breast pumps and nipple shields
• Your baby’s weight and where to get extra help
• Settling an unsettled or colicky baby
• Starting solid foods
• Breastfeeding when you go back to work
