This page for anyone interesting in finding and/or giving help with breastfeeding issues, problems and questions. ** For private questions or discussion, please join the closed (private) group for Harpenden BF support: https://www.facebook.com/groups/349394251739477/
Further information can also be found at www.harpenden-breastfeeding.co.uk
At the Monday & Thursday groups, all parents are welcome to join us at any group, not just those who are currently breastfeeding, but we are unashamedly here to support women in the difficult but rewarding challenge of breastfeeding their children. These are very much social groups - not just for problems - and we value mothers sharing their stories & experiences.
If you would like to help other mothers by training as a peer supporter, please let us know & we can facilitate that.
Peer Supporters have undergone formal training with NCT, Association of Breastfeeding Mothers or Breastfeeding Network.
Further breastfeeding support is provided by an NCT Breastfeeding Counsellor.
