Breastfeeding Peer Support Groups
are available in the following areas
within the Wakefield District.
Most
of the groups you will find of local
mums who have breastfed their own
babies and have been trained to
support you with your breastfeeding.
No appointment is
necessary! Please feel free to drop
into any of the groups
below if you are pregnant or a
breastfeeding mum. We know that
sometimes breastfeeding can be
difficult, but we also know that
most breastfeeding problems can be
solved and we are here to offer
help, support and guidance whilst
you and your baby are getting to
know each other.
And
even if you're not having any
problems please stop by for a chat
and a drink, it is always nice to
meet other breastfeeding mums!!
Some
of the groups offer a FREE Bra
fitting service and nursing bras for
sale at discounted prices!
Please note: The drop in
session at the Cedars Childrens
Center Hemsworth has changed.
As from 6th October the session will
run from 1.30-3pm on a Monday
afternoon to co-inside with the
midwives drop in session. There is
no session on 26th or 29th
September.
If you are in urgent need of support
please call the center and ask for a
peer supporter's phone number or
email
gemma@breastfeeding-support.co.uk
and someone will arrange to see you.
