Recommended Breastfeeding Support group

Every Wednesday 10.30-12pm, Robertsbridge Youth Centre, TN32 5BU. Meet other mums and get support. Lactation consultant in attendance at least once a month.

Moat Breastfeeding Support know how much difference support from other mums who have breastfed can make to your breastfeeding journey. From learning how to latch your babies on in the early days to keeping you going when things change or you start to question things. You don’t have to wait until your baby arrives to start learning about all these things, come and chat to us.

Breastfeeding is a learnt skill and a partnership between mum and baby. Getting the right support is essential particularly with your first baby. However, with your second, whilst the fundamentals remain the same, every baby is different, so quite often a mum finds they still need support even if it isn’t their first time breastfeeding. We are here for you whether its your first or your fourteenth baby.

The group is a Mother to Mother support group facilitated by Nikki who has breastfed three children, each for more than a year. Nikki is also a trained peer supporter and has helped with breastfeeding at the Health Visiting clinic in Robertsbridge and on the postnatal ward at the Conquest hospital in Hastings. Nikki is passionate about breastfeeding and helping mum’s to achieve their goals.

The Lactation Consultant is Jane Gerard-Pearse. Jane is exceptionally talented and knowledgeable having been a lactation consultant for 14 years, a midwife for 34 years and also a qualified nurse. Jane attends the clinic to provide specialist support. Read more about Jane: www.janegerardpearse.com.

Every Wednesday morning, 10.30-12pm at Robertsbridge Youth Centre (TN32 5BU) for pregnant, breastfeeding or mixed (combi) feeding mums. We look forward to meeting you!
