Specialist support
Feeding support is also available from your Midwife and Health Visitor. Ask your Health Visitor if they provide group support tailored to your community.
If you are establishing breastfeeding and are worried that your newborn baby may have a tongue tie, screening, advice and NHS referrals are available through the Neath, Fforestfach, Llansamlet and Murton groups.
No question is too small. Contact your Midwife, Health Visitor or Infant Feeding Team for support.
