🌷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!)

S U P P O R T
Where To Find Feeding Support
If you have any questions or worries about feeding your baby then there are lots of ways you can seek support:

Support Groups
We run sessions (see details above) - if you can't make it or we aren't running then there are other groups if you can travel:
Callington - https://www.facebook.com/bfpscornwall
Plymouth - https://www.facebook.com/PlymouthLatchon

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!):
National Breastfeeding Helpline - 0300 100 0212 - 24 hours a day, every day of the year
Breastfeeding Network - https://www.breastfeedingnetwork.org.uk/breastfeeding-information/
Association of Breastfeeding Mothers - https://abm.me.uk/breastfeeding-information/

And if you are concerned about your health, or your baby's health you can call 111 or 999 if it is a life-threatening emergency.
