We are proud to be a Baby-Friendly Practice. We support all parents and caregivers in feeding their infants and want you to feel comfortable and supported during your visit.
Our Commitment to You
- Breastfeed anywhere: In accordance with the Breastfeeding etc. (Scotland) Act 2005, you are welcome to breastfeed your baby in any of our public areas, including the waiting room.
- Privacy when you want it: If you would prefer a more private space to feed your baby or to express milk, please just ask a member of our Reception Team, and we will find a quiet room for you.
- Bottle feeding: We are equally supportive of parents who are bottle-feeding and can provide a comfortable seat or assistance if required.
