If you did go to a breat feeding group please tell me what you would like to gain from it ?

I now it might sound really obvious that youd want advise on breastfeeding, but im really excited because ive been given some funding to set up a support group each week for breastfeeing mums. Id really appreciate some comments on what you`d like if you were to attend.

Peer support / Friendship ?
Advise in pregnancy or support after ?
What time of day ?
Midwife or support worker or another mum or all ?
Id love to hear your suggestions ? Ive got a blank canvas to start and really want to make a go of this.

Wow thank you so much everyone.
I promise to take on this on board.
I actually have 21 mums wanting to train to be peer support workers so i guess our support is going to be fantastic really .

Will def provide food drink and throughout the whole year .

Will let you know how it goes-off to design some posters x

Sounds great! Just wish you were closer to me, as I am currently pregnant (14 weeks) and breastfeeding a 2 year old....tandem feeding will be fun!

Good luck, hope it goes well.

What would have made a huge difference to my life would have been a phone number of someone who could have given me practical advice.

Or what about a web site that has a video example of various positions? The times I needed help were usually around 3 am and was in pain....

For future ref there are some vids at this site: www.thebirthden.com/Newman.html, down a bit on the righthand side.
