Infant Feeding Clinics
The Bromley 0 to 19 service is accredited by UNICEF Baby Friendly Initiative and is here to support you with feeding your baby. We offer face-to-face appointments at our drop-in clinics and 1-1 appointments. Our Duty Health Visitors can also offer first-line advice over the phone so please give them a call if you would like to speak about feeding your baby on 0300 330 5777.
All our staff have been specially trained to help you feed your baby. Whether you fully breastfeed, give expressed breast milk or formula by bottle. We will give you the best possible information and support.
If you would like to book a 1-1 appointment, please contact your Health Visitor on 0300 330 5777 or email bromh.bromley0to19@nhs.net or talk with us via our live chat. Calls may be recorded for training and quality purposes, to find out more, visit Privacy | Bromley 0 to 19 Public Health Service.
