Although not used for teaching, students who study midwifery with the UON will be equipped with the knowledge and understanding of infant feeding to UNICEF BFI UK standards which will enable them to fully support mothers and their families with infant feeding and relationship building, which is pivotal to neonatal wellbeing. Within the Learning Hub at Waterside Campus, there is a designated infant feeding room which is available to all students, staff and the general public, providing a safe, private and comfortable space for infant feeding, expressing and newborn care.
