Infant Feeding

The Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust Infant Feeding Team provides compassionate, evidence‑based support for all feeding choices, as part of its UNICEF Baby Friendly commitment. Families are supported in an inclusive, respectful environment when learning to feed their baby.

Most women breastfeed at birth, but many stop earlier than they planned. Breastfeeding is the normal and natural way to feed your baby, but that doesn’t mean it always comes easily and lots of women stop breastfeeding before they want to. So, if you are thinking about breastfeeding it is a good idea to find out how to get off to a good start, know the signs your baby is feeding well and where to get help if you need support because you are not alone.

Parents should call NHS 111 or see a GP urgently if concerned. Babies under six months can be checked using the The Lullaby Trust – Baby Check app.

Our service is available six days a week. If the phone isn’t answered, leave a message and the team will call back.
