Breast Feeding Welcome Here

Breast Feeding Welcome Here

We’ve just launched a new initiative to support breastfeeding in our community – the “Breastfeeding Welcome Here” scheme! 

If you're a local venue in Sutton – whether it's a shop, café, restaurant, community centre, library, museum, or leisure centre – we want YOU to join us in showing your support for breastfeeding mothers.

Feeding Your Baby: What You Need to Know

For the first six months, breastmilk provides everything your baby needs.

Breastmilk is tailor-made for your baby. It contains essential vitamins, minerals, and antibodies that help protect against infections and support long-term health. However you feed your baby, we’re here to provide non-judgemental, evidence-based advice and support.

If breastfeeding isn’t possible or preferred, first stage infant formula (any brand) is a suitable alternative. Babies don’t need any other food or drink until around six months of age, when solid foods can begin to be introduced gradually.

Feeding is more than just nutrition—it’s about bonding, confidence, and wellbeing. Our team is here to support you every step of the way.
