Our health visiting team will provide information about lots of different things during your pregnancy including:

- What health services might be involved during your pregnancy and after your baby is born.

- Your hopes for the birth and baby and how your family will adapt.

- What to expect when your baby is born.

Although a lot of information is aimed at women when a baby is coming into the world, we know this is a massive change for dads and partners too. We are here to support the whole family.

You can contact us through Just One Number on 0300 300 0123 or text Parentline on 07520 631590 or visit https://www.justonenorfolk.nhs.uk/our-services/healthy-child-services-0-5/

A wonderful opportunity to empower parents to reach their own infant feeding goals.

Our volunteers need to be able to listen, empathise and support others in a sensitive and non-judgemental way. They help to promote and normalise breastfeeding/chestfeeding & support all infant feeding parents, including those who are formula feeding, mixed feeding and introducing or feeding solid foods.
Volunteers will attend community groups across the region to offer support and information to parents around all aspects of infant feeding.

This week we are supporting the campaign.

The four asks are:

1. Make sure your child has an asthma action plan - children with an asthma action plan are four times less likely to have to go to hospital for their asthma.

2. Make sure you know how to use an inhaler - getting the inhaler technique right with a spacer or facemask is one of the most important things you can do to help your child stay well.

3. Attend your child's asthma review - scheduling an asthma review once a year (and after every attack) can help children and young people to manage their symptoms.

4. Consider air pollution and it's impact - air pollution can trigger asthma, but knowing the triggers can help children and young people to manage their condition.
