Breastfeeding information and support should be accessible to everyone. We recognise that parents who are D/deaf can face additional barriers when accessing breastfeeding information and support.
These resources, created through a collaboration between BfN Birmingham, BID Services and The Breastfeeding Network, aim to help make information more accessible through British Sign Language (BSL).
We hope these resources will be a useful tool for parents who are D/deaf, healthcare professionals, breastfeeding supporters and anyone working to improve infant feeding support and accessibility.
BSL Breastfeeding Dictionary
The dictionary brings together signs relating to breastfeeding and infant feeding, helping to improve communication, understanding and access to information for parents who are D/deaf, their families and the professionals who support them.
