Breastfeeding support
Cuidiú has many fully qualified, voluntary Breastfeeding Counsellors (BFCs) around the country who offer free support and information to breastfeeding families face to face or over the phone.
Our BFCs can support you throughout your breastfeeding journey, from pregnancy to the early days, combo feeding, returning to work, feeding beyond infancy, weaning, and much more.
This is a free service. We are all volunteers. If we miss your call just call the next counsellor on the list. We’ll be happy to talk to you.
If you need support after 9pm or before 9am, please text before calling. Our Cuidiú Breastfeeding Counsellors offer FREE info & support via phone & at our support groups throughout the country.
You can also visit our Cuidiú Cork Breastfeeding Support Facebook Page.
See below for details of the Cork and Kerry BFC’s.
