Breastfeeding Support

Breastfeeding Counsellors:

Marisa Dexter 01453 521009

Ruth Bolgar 0117 924 3849

Fiona Hunter 01454 856025

NCT Breastfeeding Line 0870 444 8708

Our breastfeeding counsellors undergo a thorough training with the NCT although they are not required to be medically qualified. All counsellors are expected to keep up to date with the latest developments in maternity care and must register with us every year. Their role is to offer support, information, practical skills and resources to help parents make informed choices for themselves and their babies. They do not offer medical advice and parents are asked to take any questions about the medical care of mother and baby to their midwife, health visitor or doctor.

Breast Pump Hire

The NCT operates an electric breast pump hire scheme throughout the UK with the volunteer help of members of the NCT. If you need an electric breast pump for medical or convenience reasons, contact Angie on 0870 420 8980.

Experiences Register

Have you ever felt the need to talk to someone who has experienced what you are going through, someone to just listen and understand or maybe offer some words of advice? The NCT Experiences Register may be able to help you.

The following subjects are those of which local, friendly parents have had experience. They have volunteered themselves to talk to others who may have had a similar experience and need to talk.

If you would like to contact someone about one of these subjects please call Wendy on 0870 066 9304.

If the subject about which you are concerned is not listed, then the NCT holds a national experiences register which may be of help. The number to call is 0870 444 8707 between the hours of 9am and 5pm weekdays.

 If you feel you have had an experience which may be of value to others we would love to hear from you. This service is totally confidential, and the commitment from you would be very small, but it may mean a great deal to someone else. Please call Wendy Thomas on 0870 066 9304 to chat about joining the register.
