Claire Bisaro, from the Infant Feeding Team, said “We want to celebrate all things breastfeeding and we hope this will be an opportunity for parents to see all the different places, organisations and people they can get support from with their breastfeeding journey – from the hospital and community infant feeding teams to breastfeeding charities and other community networks in the area.”

So come along parents, little ones and all for a day of positive celebration and knowledge-sharing in support of breastfeeding!
