In Hounslow, we are committed to supporting you to meet your goals when feeding your baby, whatever this might look like. In 2023, the Hounslow Baby Feeding Friendly (BFF) network was launched to support parents and families to feel comfortable when feeding their babies in public through a network of baby-feeding-friendly local businesses. 

Hounslow is proud to support local businesses to show families that they want them to have a positive experience when feeding their babies if they’re out and about.

Click here to see a list of locations in your area that identify themselves as baby-feeding friendly. You are welcome to come to these locations when you’re out and about and feed your baby.

It may feel that you are feeding your baby all the time. However, the frequency with which your baby feeds changes as they get older, please discuss this with your midwife or health visitor*.

 

Happy

A well-fed baby will be content during and after a feed and have wet and dirty nappies.

Not Sure

If you have any feeding concerns, visit a breastfeeding support group or call your postnatal coordinator who will contact your midwifery or health visiting* team.

If your baby is vomiting up a lot of milk, you should also inform your midwife or health visitor*.

Unhappy

* The midwifery team will transfer care to the health visiting team within the first month of your baby being born.
