Tiaki Ūkaipō Breastfeeding & Community Support: Our programme supports mothers with their breastfeeding. Mothers are given one on one support and advice from a lactation consultant or, if appropriate, a peer supporter. These are other mothers, trained to provide a listening ear and advice to ensure a positive outcome for mother and baby when breastfeeding is a challenge. Home visits and clinics are available.
Referrals
