Please call in or ring on 01274 770434 to book a place on any of our groups or activities.

Join us at our Breastfeeding Café and Baby weighing where we can give you lots of information and support just when you need it. This is a great place to make new friends and share the ups and downs of looking after a new baby. You will meet other mums who are just starting to breastfeed, volunteers who have breastfed their own babies in the past and have

had training in breastfeeding support. We can offer one to one support for families and sessions for Dads and partners. Learning the same information as your partner and

discussing it together can be really helpful, especially in the early days when everything is very new and sometimes can feel over whelming. Join us for a cup of tea and to meet new people. We look forward

to welcoming you!
