Breastfeeding Peer Support (BFF)
Our Breastfeeding Peer Support Service, BFF, is available to all breastfeeding women.
Breastfeeding Peer Support is mother to mother support given by women who have breastfed (or are still breastfeeding) and would like to support other mothers on their breastfeeding journey. It is a texting and/or phone call support service.
All our volunteers have completed a training course and are registered with the South Eastern HSC Trust Volunteer Service.
Our Breastfeeding Peer Support Link Worker (PSLW) will either see you on the postnatal ward in the Ulster Hospital Maternity Unit or she will phone you after discharge home from the unit.
The PSLW will explain what the service offers and ask if you would like to be put in contact with a Breastfeeding Peer Supporter.
If you have your baby in another Trust they will be able to make a referral to our PSLW through their link worker.
If you initially decline the service but change your mind at any stage please contact the Breastfeeding Peer Support Link Worker on 07855 169707.
