Breastfeeding services

There are many support services that can help you with breastfeeding your baby.

Local breastfeeding services

Your local child and family health centre is there to help:

• Find your child and family health service
• Aboriginal families can visit Building Strong Foundations.

Your local health district may also offer online and face-to-face breastfeeding support services.

It's a good idea to call before you go, as times and availability may change.
