Abstract
Support for breastfeeding has traditionally been offered by midwives and health visitors in statutory services, and volunteers in third sector organisations. A model that meets service requirements and is also acceptable for mothers and babies has evaded implementation. This article describes an innovative project created to support an increase in breastfeeding duration based on partnership working and utilising trained Breastfeeding Support Workers.
