Breastfeeding
Breastmates
Breastmates runs free, informal breastfeeding support groups across Swindon. You can drop in to meet trained peer support volunteers and other local mums.
Who can attend
You can attend if you are breastfeeding or pregnant. You do not need to have a breastfeeding problem or concern.
Partners, children, family members, and friends are also welcome. They can all play an important role in supporting you.
Support at the groups
Breastmates groups are run by mums who are trained to provide breastfeeding support. They have breastfed their own children and, in most cases, are still breastfeeding.
The groups offer a friendly and informal place to:
- talk about breastfeeding
- get support from trained volunteers
- meet other breastfeeding mums
