NCT B.A.B.I.E.S (Babies and Breastfeeding: Information, Encouragement & Support) provides free breastfeeding support and help to all new mothers in the Basingstoke area.
Face-to-Face appointments at Brookvale Village Hall on Friday Mornings and appointments online, which you can book at https://www.facebook.com/HampshireBreastfeedingCounselling/ or by emailing hantsbf@gmail.com
If you need support at other times including over bank holidays, the National NCT Infant Feeding Helpline 0300 330 0700 is open every day (8am to midnight every day of the year). NCT Breastfeeding Counsellors are paid to work on the line and are happy to cover the bank holidays too, so are waiting for your call. If you have to leave a message, calls are generally returned within 2 hours.
Basingstoke NCT breastfeeding counsellors are fully qualified and all have a DipHE in breastfeeding counselling. They receive regular, compulsory, ongoing training and supervision via the NCT. They are not medically qualified, so please take any medical questions to your health professional.
Funding
B.A.B.I.E.S. is free to all and is funded through NCT Branch fundraising and personal donations, without which the service would not be able to run. If you would like to make a donation you can do so through the link below
