A friendly baby and toddler group with infant feeding support from trained peer supporters (we can support breastfeeding, combination feeding, bottle feeding, starting solids, stopping breastfeeding).
You are welcome to bring your baby/child. The support space is women only, partners/supporters are welcome to come along with you and there is a waiting area for male supporters.
This is a small group, and so spaces need to be booked in advance.
