Hello! We are Jen and Jackie, and we share the role of Infant Feeding Coordinator at 69ÀÏʪ»ú¸£Àû Hospital. Also, in our team you may meet Naomi who works alongside us.
We are passionate about supporting mothers and their families to make the right choices for themselves regarding infant feeding and we are always working to make the service we provide better. As a team we aim to pop over to the Postnatal Ward every day that we are in. We are able to offer you a ‘one-to-one’ if you are struggling with feeding and will support you in any way you wish to feed your baby. We can also assess your baby for and divide it if necessary.
The information on this website should provide a useful introduction to your options around feeding your baby – it’s never too early to think about this, so please be sure to ask your community midwives for support and information as you start (or continue!) your journey into parenthood.
We look forward to welcoming you and your baby!

How was your feeding experience?In February 2024, the Maternity and Neonatal Unit will be audited by Baby Friendly. If you have had a baby over the past 12 months and would be willing to share your feeding journey, we would like to hear from you. This would involve a telephone conversation with a member of the Baby Friendly team, which should last no longer then 10 minutes. We are looking for mothers who have breastfed, bottle or mixed fed. We will need to know your name and babies name, date of birth of your baby, and the method of feeding. If you would like to share your experience please contact the infant feeding team on sft.infantfeedingco@nhs.net or 07775027151. Thank you. |
