No matter what your breastfeeding journey looks like - exclusively breastfeeding, exclusively pumping, donor milk giver or receiver or combination feeding we are here to offer a warm welcome, information and support. Whether you are at the beginning of your journey or nearing the end. Whether you have concerns or not. You're always welcome to join us at the Cadbury Heath Breastfeeding Group. We can promise a hot cup of tea, usually a sugary snack and a friendly face. The group very much welcomes siblings, partners, grandparents and friends and offers a drop in environment - we know babies don't always follow a clock. So please do feel free to pop along.

I'm Katie & I've helped to run the Cadbury Heath BF Group since January 2015, so over 3yrs now.
I completed my Peer Supporter training in December 2014. I decided to train after having my second daughter as my eldest was 6 & a half then & I sort of felt like I'd forgotten things & wanted to learn again, but also wanted to learn how to help others too. I have also went on to complete my ABM Mother Supporter training in 2016. I have 3 girls age 11, 4 & a half and 2 & a half and breastfed for a total of 63mths!! That's over 5yrs! :) Katie, Barnardo's peer supporter |

I'm Katarzyna, but I usually use Kate so everyone knows how to pronounce it. I'm a Polish expat living in the lovely village of Hanham. I'm boobing (4 years and counting), soon-to-be home educating stay at home mum of (so far) two: Daphne and Emil. I'm a breastfeeding peer supporter at Cadbury Heath group. I found my tribe there, I've been coming to the group since my first was 20 months old, and helping with drinks and tidying up naturally progressed to volunteering.

I’m Laura and have a one year old daughter called Ruby. I’ve been attending the Cadbury Heath group since Ruby was a month old. It was so great to be able to go to a local group for support when I had breastfeeding issues, plus a warm cup of tea and a friendly chat! I completed my peer support training in December 2018. I love helping people and I find breast milk fascinating so thought this was the perfect role for me! I’m currently waiting for the result of the ABM Mother Support Course which I’ve just submitted.

What Mums say....
"Thank you for your help with the breastfeeding when I had my baby! I was so close to giving up. I was planning to breastfeed only for the first three months at first but managed to carry on for 23 and decided to stop at 23 only because no 2 is on the way"
