Best Beginnings Resources

Leeds is pleased to be participating in the evaluation of the Best Beginnings resources. Your midwife will tell you about the Baby Buddy app. If you do not have a smart phone you will be able to access the resources at www.bestbeginnings.org.uk

If you can not access the internet ask your midwife for the From Bump to Breastfeeding DVD.
