Hi, just wanted to talk about some of the local events we are holding for B/F awareness week. We've had a fantastic picnic in the park, although a bit damp, and loads of LLL meetings and group gatherings are happening but our big event is a Breastfeeding Awareness Networking Lunch on friday (18th) from 12.30-2pm in the Community Hall at Tidworth Lesiure Centre.
This is an opportunity to:
o Meet local health professionals and breastfeeding mothers.
o Find information on breastfeeding and breastfeeding resources.
o Meet with lactation consultants and breastfeeding counsellors.
o Discover the local services available for mothers and babies.
This event aims to be an informal networking session with:
o Free buffet lunch.
o Welcome and Introductions at 1pm.
o Displays and stands including those from La Leche League, NCT and local breastfeeding support groups.
All Welcome including babies and children.
I am constantly amazed by the passion and committment that so many people give to supporting other B/F mums. hopefully this is a real chance for health professionals and B/F organistations and mums to get together, to start providing a real united approach to B/F support in our area. Will let you know of how successful it all is...xxxxxxx
