GPIFN

The GP Infant Feeding Network (UK), or GPIFN, is an independent, voluntary network of UK primary care professionals and supportive colleagues advocating for improved infant feeding practice. Developed by general practitioners with input from specialists in infant feeding, maternity and early years, its website is a clinical reference designed primarily for UK GPs. It brings together evidence-based information and links to trusted independent sources to support clinicians’ learning and patient care, without suggesting that GPs take over the responsibilities of other infant-feeding professionals.

Resources cover breastfeeding, infant milks and bottle feeding, introducing solids, maternal health, medicines in breastmilk, infant feeding support, and common clinical concerns affecting mothers and babies. The site also offers prescribing information, guidance for GP consultations and practices, educational materials, online learning, research, and resources for supporting families. Other healthcare professionals may find the content useful. GPIFN emphasizes that its material is intended to guide healthcare professionals, not to provide individual medical advice.
