Infant Feeding

University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust was awarded Baby Friendly Unit status in 2015 and again in 2018.

This means we have been assessed and passed on providing the best evidenced standards in relation to infant feeding. 

We firmly believe that breastfeeding is the healthiest option for you and your baby, the hospital operates a breastfeeding policy which supports parents and provides recommendations for breastfeeding in the early days.

We have a dedicated infant feeding specialist midwife, neonatal Nurse and paediatric nurse. We run a specialist tongue tie clinic and our team can advise and support you in the choices you make regarding infant feeding. We work in partnership with community infant feeding teams to provide you with high quality holistic breastfeeding support. 

We provide antenatal infant feeding workshops which can be booked online through your community midwife and work in conjunction with the maternity team to support your needs on the postnatal ward, utilizing the Baby Friendly Initiative principles.
