The National Breastfeeding Committee comprises representatives from the Department of Health, the hospital, private pediatricians and community members. We meet regularly and offer free public quarterly breastfeeding classes to align with our aim protect, promote, and support breastfeeding in Bermuda.

We recommend that parents with questions or concerns about their breastfeeding journey contact their Health Visitor directly or call the Child Health Clinic at 441-278-6461 to be connected with one. You can also email healthvisitor@gov.bm.
