La Leche League Oxfordshire is proud to support

The Oxfordshire Baby Friendly Alliance, an umbrella group representing new parents and those who support them, is working towards implementation of the UNICEF Baby Friendly Initiative at every level in Oxfordshire.

"Baby Friendly" status is given to maternity units, neonatal units, health visiting services and community settings such as children's centres that provide a high standard of feeding support to pregnant women and new parents.
