Lactation Consultant Service

This is a free service provided by the hospital and community NHS Trust in Hull. If you are experiencing challenges to breastfeeding (for example recurrent mastitis, low milk supply, weight loss or a slow gain) please ask your midwife or health visitor to refer you for specialised support. You will be contacted by a trained lactation consultant who will explore the issue and provide a plan of care.
