Arden House Medical Practice is a breastfeeding friendly practice.
Breastfeeding is welcomed in all public areas of our Practice and mothers will not be asked to move or stop. The Practice will endeavour, where possible, to make comfortable arrangements for mothers who would prefer privacy to breastfeed. If we have a suitable breast feeding room available it will be provided, along with drinking water for anyone who would like some. Please ask at the reception desk.
If you have any breastfeeding worries or concerns, the best thing to do is speak to your midwife or health visitor, or join a local breastfeeding support group. The following link also has some helpful information and support.
