Lots of groups to choose from! Why not visit all the ones in your local area and either choose the one you feel most comfortable at, or go to them all!

Our bodies are amazing aren't they, whilst pregnant we grow a left ear (!), whilst running a meeting or chasing after a toddler! Then when those little miracles arrive, our bodies constantly change our breastmilk to support the growing needs of that little one, even in the space of a day!

Talking of days, it's nearly WEDNESDAY, which means it's time for us to meet again. All welcome. We can help you with getting a pain free latch, ni**le shields, how to introduce solids whilst breastfeeding, how to express, going back to work whilst still feeding, what's normal....and the list goes on!

🏠 Where: Youth Centre, TN32 5BU
🚗 Parking: easy parking 2 mins away on George Hill
🕰️ When: 10.30-12pm (come when you can)

We provide SPECIALIST support at every session and mums get to chat, support each other and see babies have there interactions with each other.

❤️ We can't wait to welcome you whether you're pregnant or have already had your baby. ❤️

If anyone left a bag this morning it is now The Moat Practice - Moat Osteopaths (a 3 min walk from the youth centre on Station Road). Do get in touch if you are missing it. We didn't want to leave it in the hall as it would have meant leaving it there until next week!

I've just finished my evening cuppa from this wonderful mug, painted by one of our talented lactation consultants Natalia! It reminds me of how we are all different and how I know lots of women feel, before coming to a breastfeeding support group....unsure, lacking confidence, needing a cheerleader! Whether that be because you're feeling shy in general or you're having issues with feeding, please know and be assured that this group is a judgement free space where we support YOU, the INDIVIDUAL in YOUR JOURNEY! We are all different, just as our b***s, breasts or whatever you like to call them are too! Everyone has their normal and that's what we like to support, accompanied by the facts so that you can make an informed decision about your journey. We meet every Wednesday from 10.30-12pm. We are a privately funded group due to the generosity of local organisations and businesses who ask for nothing in return, other than to make sure you all are supported! We look forward to seeing you soon. PS feel free to DM us or WhatsApp with any concerns or questions you may have.

How's it going this week?

Perhaps you're pregnant 🤰 37 weeks plus and stressing about not being able to express any colostrum. Don't worry, this is isn't an indication of whether you can breastfeed when your baby is here. Keep practicing. Once your baby is here you'll be surprised that your body knows what to do.

When your baby is born their tummy is tiny so you won't be producing pints, initially it'll be the size of a marble! So, don't be guided by what's on the back of a formula pack, that's totally different to breastmilk so you can't use that as a guide to volumes. Just trust that your body knows what to do!

If you're in the early days, feed on demand and remember "if in doubt whip them out" as you can't overfeed a breastfeed baby.

To explore more about the early days and more support along your journey, join us on Wednesdays in Robertsbridge Youth Centre. Lactation consultants and peer support available at every group.

When: Wednesdays
Where: Robertsbridge Youth Centre
When: 10.30-12pm
Parking : Free, 2 min walk away on George Hill

Do drop us a message if you have any questions or worries before coming.

🌞 Ooops......we are a bit late posting! Sorry about that! Sometimes life just gets in the way doesn't it? People often say that's exactly what happens when you have a baby. The things you used to have time for get pushed to one side, or squeezed as you find a new way to be you.

It can be so rewarding but so hard at the same time.

People wonder what you do all day, but all of us know how looking after that little one can take up SO much time, and that's ok. ❤️

🖐️ It's also ok to need a little help, to ask for that help and to find a routine that allows you to have some time for yourself, whatever that maybe.

💡 If you want to find people like you with little ones, with a bit of expert help thrown in to help you achieve your goals, come along on Wednesdays and we will be there for you every step of the way!

Whatever the issue, we can help, and if we can't, we will point you in the right direction. 🌳

🫄, 👶 and beyond!
