Terms of Use

These terms set out the basis on which you are welcome to use Breastfeedo. They are written to be readable rather than intimidating, but they do still matter, so please take a moment with them.

Agreeing to these terms

When you use Breastfeedo, you agree to the terms on this page and to our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle information. If any part of this does not sit right with you, the simplest answer is to not use the site.

How you may use our content

We are happy for you to make good use of what you find here. You may read our guides for your own personal, non-commercial purposes, share links to our pages, and quote short passages as long as you credit Breastfeedo clearly. What we ask you not to do is republish, copy, or redistribute large portions of our content without our written permission first.

Breastfeeding guidance is information, not medical advice

This is the most important section, so please read it carefully. Everything on Breastfeedo is general information and education, offered “as is” to support you, your midwife, your health visitor, and your wider care team. It is not medical advice and is not a substitute for an assessment from a qualified professional who knows you and your baby. Every parent and every baby is different, and what suits one may not suit another. Our full Medical Disclaimer explains this in more detail and forms part of these terms. If you have a concern about feeding, your milk supply, or your baby’s wellbeing, please speak to a healthcare professional.

Our content and copyright

Unless we say otherwise, the writing, images, and other material on this site belong to Breastfeedo and are protected by copyright. We put real care into reviewing what we publish, and we ask that you respect that work by using it within the limits described above.

Things you agree not to do

To keep the site safe and useful for every tired parent who visits, you agree not to misuse it. That means not trying to disrupt or break the site, not using automated tools that place an unreasonable load on it, and not using it for anything unlawful.

Links to other sites

From time to time we link out to other websites for reference, such as health organisations or research. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, accuracy, or privacy practices, so following an external link is at your own discretion.

No warranties and our liability

We make a genuine effort to keep our guidance accurate and current, but we cannot warrant that it is complete, error-free, or suitable for your particular situation. To the fullest extent the law allows, Breastfeedo is not liable for any loss or harm arising from your use of, or reliance on, this website or its content. Always rely on your own healthcare team for decisions about you and your baby.

Changes to these terms

We may revise these terms occasionally. The “Last updated” date above shows the current version, and continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
