Welcome to our website

BEST Services provides a hub where you can find Breastfeeding Education, Support and Training Services to enable infants and children, their mothers and families to benefit from optimal infant and young child feeding and care.

This site is aimed at health workers working with infants and children, their mothers, however anyone is welcome. Breastfeeding is important to the health and wellbeing of children, mothers, families and the community, both in the short-term and the long-term.

Sometimes mothers need some help and support with breastfeeding and we can provide this or direct mothers to another source.

The educational resources and training courses that we offer can assist health workers to develop and extend their knowledge and skills. We provide a selection of links to further sources of information.

BEST Services has highly qualified and experienced consultants. We undertake consultations and research on projects related to breastfeeding and infant and young child feeding. You are invited to read more about us.
