What does a Health Visitor do? Check this out...
Health Visiting in Torbay
Your health visitor is a specialist, there to help you tackle any concerns and questions that you have about your baby or pre-school child, and how to deal with a variety of situations that you may not necessarily feel equipped for.
Baby Friendly
The UK Baby Friendly Initiative is linked to UNICEF and the World Health Organization. It is designed to support breastfeeding and parent infant relationships. Includes leaflets (in all languages) on breast and bottle feeding, weaning and "building a happy baby"
NHS: Breastfeeding
Breastfeeding lowers your risk of getting breast and ovarian cancer, saves loads of money and can help to build a strong bond between you and your baby.
