The National Breastfeeding Helpline
This article was created with
The National Breastfeeding Helpline offers non-judgmental, independent, evidence-based breastfeeding information and support.
Whatever your breastfeeding journey looks like, we’re here for you. Calls and messages are answered by staff and volunteers, who have personal experience breastfeeding and have been highly trained by the Breastfeeding Network or the Association of Breastfeeding Mothers.
From 29 March 2024, the National Breastfeeding Helpline will be available 24 hours a day as part of a pilot scheme, offering the same support overnight as we do in the day.
We understand that breastfeeding support needs to be available to you when you need it and how you need it. That’s why the helpline is open on 0300 100 0212 every single day of the year. You can also get support by messaging us on Facebook or Instagram, which will be answered between 9.30am and 9.30pm, or by using our webchat service.
In this short video Fiona Stewart, Trustee for the Breastfeeding Network, explains how the National Breastfeeding Helpline can support families.
