Oops! We forgot our own birthday! 🤦🏻‍♀️

Our free 1:1 breastfeeding support video call service turned 3 at the end of March.

Some of our volunteers think of the 1:1 service as our "8th group".

To book a free video call, simply follow the link in our bio.

Know anyone who training as a midwife or health visitor? On 6th September, I’m offering a free hour’s training on early breastfeeding problems. You can get zoom link here: https://t.co/mHNdOOLVeJ
A midwifery lecturer told me it was one of the best sessions she had ever attended.

This week sees November draw to a close, which means that we'll have spent our most recent Lotto Communities Fund grant.

We're extremely grateful to Lotto for their support which was given to us specifically in relation to the theme of "connections".

We were delighted to receive a letter and certificate from @Cllr_whyborn @CheltenhamMayor acknowledging and thanking us for our work to maintain free breastfeeding support throughout the various COVID lockdowns.

[Department of Health and Social Care @DHSCgovuk]

"I've decided that, although I am breastfeeding, I'm going to go ahead and get the vaccination."

New mum Shantelle explains why she'll be getting the #COVID19 vaccine.

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding & have concerns about the jab speak to your GP.
