Peer support/breast feeding support

Posted By Breast feeding mum

"Peer support/breast feeding support"

About: Eastwood Children's Centre

(as a parent/guardian),

I came to group to gain support from mums who are breast feeding as I was struggling with feeding and  feeling frustrated with the lack of and conflicting support from the midwives. Coming to the group helped me to feel supported and that I wasn't the only one feeling like this. The group also normalised a lot of feelings and breast feeding and provides confidence with feeding in public and developmental milestones. I would recommend babes.

I feel the centre would benefit from a younger babies group as 0-18 months is such a developmentally different group and we did not get invited to the baby massage due to the Christmas break. I feel it would be helpful to have a reserve list if spaces are unattended.
