The Breastfeeding Network

The Breastfeeding Network (BFN) is a leading charity in the UK dedicated to supporting breastfeeding mothers and their families. Established in 1997, BFN aims to promote, protect, and support breastfeeding through various initiatives and services.

Our core activities include:

• Providing Information: We offer evidence-based information on breastfeeding to help mothers make informed choices.
• Training and Support: BFN provides training for healthcare professionals and volunteers to ensure they can offer the best support to breastfeeding mothers.
• Peer Support: Our network of trained peer supporters offers one-on-one support to mothers, helping them navigate the challenges of breastfeeding.
• Advocacy: We advocate for policies that support breastfeeding at local and national levels, ensuring that breastfeeding is recognized as a vital public health issue.

At BFN, we believe that every mother should have access to the support she needs to successfully breastfeed her child. Our vision is a society where breastfeeding is the norm and is supported by all. We work tirelessly to break down barriers and create an environment that encourages breastfeeding.

Through our outreach programs, we engage with diverse communities, ensuring that our services are accessible to all mothers, regardless of their background. We also collaborate with other organizations to enhance our impact and reach.

Join us in our mission to support breastfeeding mothers and promote the benefits of breastfeeding for both mothers and babies. Together, we can make a difference!
