National breastfeeding helpline continues to offer 24/7 support for new parents

The National Breastfeeding Helpline has now piloted a 24-hour service for a full year.  A recent independent evaluation concluded that the trusted service -run by The Breastfeeding Network (BfN) and Association of Breastfeeding Mothers (ABM)- continued to achieve exceptional levels of satisfaction (99% of callers) and timely, support to mums and parents, whatever their infant feeding concerns.

BfN and ABM can now confirm that the helpline will continue to offer information and support by phone 24/7 on 0300 100 0212.   Our social media services via Facebook and Instagram, will also now also be available 24/7.  Our friendly and supportive team will offer the same high-quality service for which they are known, throughout the night. All volunteers and staff have lived experience of breastfeeding, receive our accredited training and regular supervision.

Whether it’s support with latching, breast pain, typical infant behaviour, stopping breastfeeding or combination feeding with a bottle, our volunteers and staff listen without judgement, offer independent, evidence-based information and support whenever they are needed and for as long as they are needed, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Call us on 0300 100 0212 or direct message us on social media (Facebook and Instagram).
