Breastfeeding support session run on Friday's 10-11.30am by Peer Supporters with trained staff available.

Our Baby and Breastfeeding Encouragement and Support groups (known as BABES groups) offer a welcoming atmosphere for all mums who breastfeed, offering tips and practical ways of helping mums to enjoy their breastfeeding experience and to help you with any concerns.

Come along and meet other breastfeeding mums and share your experiences. It is an opportunity for you and your baby to meet new people in an enjoyable place.

BABES groups also welcome mums-to-be. The group offers an idea of what to expect from breastfeeding and mums-to-be can join the interactive antenatal workshops, which provide information on baby’s development and how to get breastfeeding off to a good start.
