This is an opportunity to discuss your breastfeeding experience with other mums. The group is very friendly and the organisers are very supportive of breastfeeding but also understand that every mother makes her own individual choices.
Discussion topics at the group include: advantages of breastfeeding, childbirth and the new baby at home, the art of breastfeeding and overcoming difficulties, nutrition and weaning.
The group also has an extensive lending library, books and information sheets for sale.
