​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.

Getting the Room Ready ​

Katharine

Hi, I am Katharine and I am the Group Coordinator at the Yate Breastfeeding Group.  I started attending the group fifteen years ago as a feeding parent myself when my first son was a couple of weeks old.  I remember how  nervous I felt starting a new group just having had a baby, but I am so glad I did.  It made a massive difference to me being a new mum and I made many friends from the group.  I now have three children and gained much support at the group with each of them.
 
I have since trained as a peer supporter and in the last couple of years become the Group Coordinator.  I am currently studying to become a Breastfeeding Counsellor, which I am thoroughly enjoying.
 
Outside of the group, I have my own childcare business and I am also a mentor.  I love crafts, cooking, walks and gardening.

Hey, i'm Hattie. Being a peer supporter is something I really enjoy as it gives me the chance to meet so many amazing people.

Support groups hold deep meaning, and it’s an honour to play even a small part in that.

​I breastfed my daughter until just over 3 years, when she self weaned, and hope to do similar with our second when they arrive.

​The Yate support group is warm and welcoming with fantastic supporters and resources. It’s a joy to be involved, I hope to see you there!

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!"
