The Breastfeeding Network (BfN) is the leading charity providing infant feeding and breastfeeding information and support that women and families trust at one of the most vulnerable points on their parenting journeys. We work across the UK and aid women and families to feel supported in their feeding choices and are able to breastfeed for as long as they choose. BfN is a Scottish registered charity and a Charitable Incorporated Organisation, registered at Companies House. BfN has a wide portfolio of funded activity across the UK financed through local authority, CCG/NHS, public health and government funds, as well as a small amount of donor funds. Our mission is to offer independent, evidence-based information and support to help build awareness of breastfeeding to individuals and organisations and to support a parent in their choice to breastfeed. Our values are at the heart of how we work, we strive to always:
Listen actively Keep a mum or parent at the centre Respect a parent and support their choices Share the evidence to inform early parenting choices
