Knitting volunteers who make knitted breasts, that are used to demonstrate and support parents during their feeding journeys, have been thanked by the Infant feeding team, for their hard work producing them.
Sarah Stewart and Helen Jones
Emily Prince, Peer Support Coordinator said: “We wanted to say a massive thank you to Helen and Sarah, our amazing knitting volunteers who have been hard at work making knitted breasts, that will be used to demonstrate and support parents during their feeding journeys, by our fabulous infant feeding support volunteers.
“Our infant feeding support volunteers give their time using their own experience, and, once they have completed a course, they visit Conquest Hospital maternity unit and other support groups around the county.
“Parents can find a list of groups on our peer support leaflet, on Badgernet notes, their Health Visitor, and at Aqua babes sessions, or their local Family Hub. Information is also available on the ESCIS website just add breastfeeding to the search bar.”
“If you are interested in becoming an infant feeding volunteer, please email a Family hub local to you, and they will pass your details on so we can contact you.”
