The Breastfeeding Network (BfN) aims to be an independent source of support and information for breastfeeding women and others.
It aims to:
Inform, educate and support families in feeding and nurturing babies and young children;
Enable communities to support breastfeeding through sharing information, training and volunteering;
Contribute to evidence based policymaking for government, healthcare providers and educators;
Promote the mental and physical wellbeing of mothers and babies through supporting breastfeeding.
We do not accept funding from sources which have a commercial interest in infant feeding. This enables women to feel confident that any information and support being given by a BfN Registered Volunteer is not biased in any way. We work within the scope of the World Health Organisation / UNICEF Code of Marketing of Breastmilk Substitutes and Subsequent relevant World Health Assembly Resolutions.
