Our new breastfeeding group
I've just come home from our new breastfeeding group that the midwives and
health visitors in my area are trying to set up. It was the first day today, the idea is for everybody to get together in a new cafe that is very pro BF and non-smoking )) It was really hard work to go - I'm on night shifts at the moment and the group was 2pm to 3.30pm but I dragged myself out of bed to make it for 3pm - thought I would show willing and meet some other BFing Mums. When I got there there was just the midwife and 1 other Mum. Nobody else had turned up ..... and only one more Mum turned up before 3.30pm. Both of them had babies that were just 6 weeks old. Margaret (midwife) said she was so relieved that I'd turned up so that the mums could be encouraged to feed on past those first hard weeks. I wonder where the Mums are that are supposed to keep me encouraged to keep feeding past 6 months .... a year .... (the non-cyberspace mums I mean - as I can hear you all shouting "Here!!") Needless to say I told them all about this NG and that if I hadn't had your help I probably wouldn't have made it past the first month, let alone to 5 months. Here's hoping a few more join next week and log on to the NG Ellie twins almost 5 months old now - what did I do with my time before???? -- |

Our new breastfeeding group
At our local BF cafe (which is quite new) they aim to have 1 HV and 2
mum2mum breastfeeding support workers (mum's who BF and now offer peer support to other mothers). I'm going to the cafe tomorrow as a mum2mum BF support person - it's the first time I've been.
