Breast/Chestfeeding support
As well as being a babywearing/carrying consultant, I am also a trained feeding peer supporter. I trained with the Association of Breastfeeding mothers.
I am now a co-director of Basildon and Thurrock BRAS CIC (baby feeding, relaxation, assurance and slings)
We have a private Facebook group where we provide support and information to help you on your feeding journey. Click here to come and join us.
We can do video calls with you, or we can see you face to face (currently on a Friday evening, but keep an eye on our group/page to see if that changes) just DM the page above or join the group to request an appointment.
We also offer free monthly online sessions to prepare you for your upcoming feeding journey. These last about an hour and we go through all the basics you'll need to know before baby arrives, and they'll help you to feel more confident and prepared. Partners and support persons are welcome to join too.
Here are some links to some reputable sources of useful information:
* Our Padlet link for the preparing to breast/chestfeed session
* Our google doc full of useful links and info
* Kellymom
* The Breastfeeding Network
