​​​​The Mothers and Others Guide
The Mothers and Others Guide offers breastfeeding advice from pregnancy through to 2 years It is full of evidence-based information about being a new parent and infant feeding.
A copy of the guide is provided by Philip's Footprints in your maternity folder which is given to you at your first scan. We recommend you keep it in your folder and refer to it throughout pregnancy and after your baby is born.
Your midwife will discuss feeding choices with you during your pregnancy and keep a record of them in your handheld green maternity notes.
