Breastfeeding Peer Support in Enfield
The Breastfeeding Peer Support Service will connect mothers with trained peer supporters who have firsthand experience. These supporters will offer guidance, encouragement, and practical assistance to help parents overcome challenges and build confidence in their breastfeeding experience.
We will be working closely with North Middlesex Hospital NHS Trust and with Enfield Council's health visiting team, family hubs and children's centres.
Our team of trained local parents with breastfeeding experience are here to provide friendly, non-judgmental, evidence-based information and infant feeding support for all, wherever you are in your feeding journey.
Our service provides:
- home visits
- phone support
- antenatal support
- maternity ward support
- community drop-in groups
- training and volunteering

NCT Enfield (National Childbirth Trust)
The First 1,000 Days of being a parent are now accepted to be the most significant in a child’s development. Leading child health experts worldwide agree that care given during the First 1,000 Days has more influence on a child’s future than any other time in their life.
Ask most parents, and chances are they’ll say that the First 1,000 Days also present some of the most challenging moments in a person’s life. And, with each new baby comes a whole new set of priorities, dilemmas and challenges.
At NCT, we have long believed that the First 1,000 Days matter. For more than 56 years we have delivered a trusted service to parents.
