AS PART of National Breastfeeding Awareness Week (May 10 to 16), Bude Breastfeeding Support Group would like to let expectant mothers and current breastfeeders know we are there for them.

We are a group of mums who have all breastfed and have completed a training course to help us support others. We meet every Monday (except bank holidays) 10am to 12noon at Bude Children's Centre.

Everyone is welcome; so whether you are pregnant, new mum, going strong or weaning, you don't need to have a problem just come along for tea and a chat. Siblings are also welcome and a snack for them is provided. We have created loan packs including leaflets, books, DVDs that you can borrow to read before the big event and keep whilst you are getting confident.

Next month we are starting a new training course for peer supporters so if you would like to learn more about breastfeeding and would like to help others benefit (you don't need to be currently breastfeeding), please contact Becki on 01288 356747 for more information.

Bude.
