The Integrated Infant Feeding Team will be showcasing our Skin-to-Skin Campaign in January.

Skin-to-skin means holding your baby whilst they are naked or wearing just a nappy, so that their skin is in contact with the bare skin of your chest and tummy.

📸👶🏽For our campaign we are looking for real images of mums & babies in skin-to-skin .👶🏼📸

It would be amazing to share photos of staff from our Trust & local mums in skin-to-skin.

We are especially keen to have images of babies in skin-to-skin immediately after birth.

Can you help us?❤️

Please send your photos to: infantfeedingcommunity@tgh.nhs.uk

Our 8th day of advent is Teddie having one of his first breastfeeds after birth. 💖

You may remember one of our earlier posts celebrating Chloe's colostrum harvesting (she had a freezer full!)

Teddie was born on 30th November at 15:47 at Tameside Hospital & he immediately latched on to the breast & has not stopped since!

We have been very privileged to support Teddie & his young parents Chloe & Kyle through pregnancy & in the postnatal days, alongside the Family Nurse Partnership & Amanda Hadley our Trust's Young Parent Midwife.

Chloe, we are so proud of all your achievements. 👏🏽
You have inspired us all with what is achievable when we all work together with mutual respect & compassion.
