Yate Group
Tuesday 11.30am - 1.00pm
Find us on Facebook
Yate breastfeeding group is a friendly, supportive group with lots of peer supporters on hand to help. It's a well attended group with a wide range of ages of babies/preschoolers. We welcome anyone who is offering
any amount of breastmilk and Mums-to-be who want to find out more about breastfeeding. We're not only here for support, we are also a lovely social group where firm friendships have been made over the years. The children's centre offers a lovely big space with plenty of toys for older children to keep them occupied. So please join us - we run every Tuesday (including school holidays) 11.30am to 1.00pm.

I love being a peer supporter and meeting new Mums and their babies each
week. It feels so good to be able to make a bit of a difference to Mums on their breastfeeding journey, which can be a real rollercoaster at times! I started attending the Yate group when my daughter was 5 weeks old and I've never stopped coming along - she's 4 now. I found the group such a friendly, supportive and helpful place that I wanted to continue to play a part in it. Louise, Barnardo's peer supporter |
I have been a peer supporter for nine years. I have three children
myself. Their ages are 9, 6 and 2 years old. I found the group invaluable with my first child and became a peer supporter to support others. I enjoy meeting new mums and their babies and listening and discussing how feeding is going for them. I have made many like minded friends through the group and am pleased that the group is still going strong 10 years on. Katharine, Barnardo's peer supporter |
Yate Breast Friends was the first group I went to with my newborn and we
never left! He's now 2 1/2 and I joined the lovely team of peer supporters when he was 1 after completing my Mother Supporter training with ABM (a great project after deciding not to return to work yet). It's a friendly, supportive group and I enjoy chatting to the mums, I had great support at the beginning of my breastfeeding journey and hope that we offer the same.

What mums say......
"I just wanted to say thank you for helping me today. I'm come away feeling a lot more positive about the challenges I've been having so I'm really happy I came along this morning"
"If it wasn't for yate breast friends' peer supporters, I wouldn't be breastfeeding now. They really helped me to understand my baby's feeding habits. Inspiring and empowering and motivating!"
