Health visitors in Bury and Rochdale have implemented a pioneering text support service to help breastfeeding mums.

The services, which are part of Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust, have adopted a text messaging system called Flo which allows them to send advice and encouragement to new mums to help them feel confident feeding their baby.

The Rochdale borough service has been running for a month and feedback from mums has been overwhelmingly positive.
