🌷Mama to Mama: Feeding Support & Friendly Chat

Our group is led by qualified peer supporters

who are here to support you through all stages of feeding — whether that’s breastfeeding, weaning, bottle feeding, or if you just need a listening ear. It’s also a relaxed, social space to connect with other mamas, enjoy a cuppa, ask questions, and let your babies safely explore while you chat.

❕Availability
We run all year round, subject to volunteer availability. Please also check our page on the morning before travelling in case we have had to cancel last minute (our volunteers all have children, you know how it goes!)

Where To Find Feeding Support

Your Midwife or Health Visitor
See your notes or red book for contact details and if you feel you need extra support, ask if they have an infant feeding specialist. Online / Phone Support
Try these organisations that provide reliable, evidence-based information (avoid google if you can!):

We turned two! 🥳

Thank you so much to everyone who joined us to celebrate 2 years of Mama to Mama at Little Goose Play Cafe

We saw little ones and older ones, mums who come now and mums who came to our very first session, partners and siblings 🩷

We showcased how we are using some of our funding with a mobile sensory space, played, chatted and of course ate cake from Busy Bee Bakes!

We’ll be sharing a round-up of the highlights of our second year soon - it was a great one!
