the breastfeeding network
Volunteers funded by Derbyshire Community Health Services NHS Foundation Trust, trained and coordinated by the The Breastfeeding Network (UK) run virtual drop in groups Monday to Friday. The groups offer evidence based support, companionship and answer any questions parents may have about feeding their babies during these difficult times. 80% of families tell us they finish breastfeeding before they were ready to, and our peer supporters, who have all breastfed their own babies support all mums and families to make their own informed decisions, providing empathetic, non-judgemental support.

La Leche League
|
Friendly Breastfeeding Support from Pregnancy onwards
La Leche League (LLL) is a mother-to-mother breastfeeding support charity that was started in 1956 in Illinois, USA. They now have around 6,000 accredited Leaders across 70 countries, all of whom are volunteers (who have breastfed a baby for at least 12 months and undertaken a Leader Accreditation course) working from their homes around the needs of their own families. LLL is recognized by UNICEF and WHO as a world expert in breastfeeding and is the largest women’s health organisation in the world. They have their own medical liaison Leaders and Panel of Professional Advisors whom they can ask for additional information if need be. The core of their work is their network of local mother-to-mother support groups, facilitated by LLL Leaders. The Derbyshire group has been running for over 30 years and the monthly meetings are open to all who are pregnant or breastfeeding. There is always some form of cake available, along with healthy snacks, a cuppa and a library of books covering various aspects of pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding and parenting. Details of all LLL Derbyshire support group meetings, including occasional toddler meetings (for those who are feeding babies over 9 months & beyond) can be found on their facebook page (@lllderbyshire) which also has information and articles on all aspects of mothering and breastfeeding. Leaders can be contacted between meetings via the facebook page, on the phone (a national helpline), by email or via the national website which has a wealth of supportive, accurate and evidence based information. LLL understand that when a mother needs support it can’t wait until tomorrow. The heart of LLL’s work has always been mothering through breastfeeding and the foundation of their effectiveness has always been mother-to-mother support. So if you’re pregnant, just starting your breastfeeding journey or want to meet other breastfeeding mums, bring your bump, baby or older child to a group and feel the lllove. www.laleche.org.uk |
