The Breastfeeding Network

Enfield

The Breastfeeding Network (BfN) provides free, evidence-based information and peer support for breastfeeding families living in Enfield at North Middlesex Hospital and Barnet Hospital. This is via community groups, phone and home visits.

The breastfeeding peer support service will connect mothers with peer supporters who have first-hand experience and accredited training.

The peer supporters will offer guidance, encouragement and practical assistance to help parents overcome challenges and build confidence in their breastfeeding journey. We also provide free training to become peer support volunteers.
