As a society we all have a role in lifting women up & empowering them with their feeding choices to enable them to meet their own personal feeding goals.

We are very fortunate in Tameside to have a local government that support, protect & invest in breastfeeding.

If you need breastfeeding support, Home-Start HOST Infant Feeding Support are available to speak to 7 days a week via their duty phone: 07802883947.

Home-Start offer home visits & have breastfeeding support groups in community venues across Tameside.

Congratulations to Janette, our Infant Feeding Lead at Tameside Hospital's Neonatal Unit & Lorna Simpson, Integrated Infant Feeding Team Support Worker!

Janette & Lorna have won 2nd place in a Quality Improvement poster competition.🎉🙌🏽

Their QI project was focused on how Tameside hospital can increase the number of pre-term babies who receive colostrum with 48 hours of birth.

🌟This quality improvement project has driven change! 🌟

With the support of the maternity & neonatal teams, Tameside hospital has seen an increase in number of babies born under 34 weeks receiving colostrum, to an amazing 96% over the last 6 months!

Fantastic work, driven by Janette & Lorna & supported by the wider maternity & neonatal team.

Well done everyone, let's keep the momentum going!

💓Love begins with Skin to skin 💕
Skin to skin is for all mums & babies.
For your baby, it's the next best thing to being in the womb.
It's the perfect place for your baby to get to know you & you to know them.
It comes with health benefits for you & your new born too.🌟
