Feeding Your Baby

Feeding Information & Advice at Kingson

Kingston Maternity Unit is working towards UNICEF’s Baby Friendly accreditation to ensure the implementation of best practise for infant feeding and in particular breastfeeding. This award is given to health care facilities that give the best standard of care, enabling women to make informed choices regarding infant feeding and to breastfeed successfully.

We have an Infant Feeding Advisor who leads a team of dedicated staff in supporting you to safely and effectively feed your baby in your chosen feeding method. The Infant Support Team can be contacted on 07595 092003.
