Some Frequently Asked Questions:

Who are the groups for?

The groups are for anyone to get support with any aspect of breastfeeding. The groups are also places  to come and meet up with other breastfeeding mums. Young mum, older mum, single, married, LGBTQ+, the groups are there for you.

Can I get 1:1 support at a drop in group?

Yes. Anyone who needs it can have 1:1 support at our groups. If you can’t come to a group or need help in between sessions we can offer online support, including video calls.

I don’t need any ‘help’. Can I still come to the group?

Yes, absolutely. The groups are welcoming social places, where mums meet like-minded people. You don’t need to have a breastfeeding ‘problem’ to come along.

I’m not exclusively breastfeeding. Can I still come to a group?

Yes! Mums who are giving formula top-ups are very welcome to come. If you’d like to increase the amount of breastmilk that your baby is getting, we can help you with that also.

Do you just talk about breastfeeding?!

No! Mums talk about the usual things that mums talk about. Many mums do, however, value having a place that they can come and talk about their breastfeeding experiences where they will feel supported.

Do you have to book in advance, or pay?

No. The groups are free, and there’s no need to book. If you would like to make a donation, to help us to support mums in the future, you are very welcome to do that.

Do the groups run in term time?

Whenever possible, we run during holiday time too. This depends on the availability of the rooms that we use. You can check for any changes on our Facebook page.
