What
are meetings like?
You are welcome at any group’s meetings right across Australia.
Our
meetings are quite informal. Some meetings are for fun and others are to
share information and thoughts about breastfeeding and parenting. If you
have any questions or concerns about breastfeeding you may like to talk to
one of our trained breastfeeding counsellors at a meeting or phone the
Breastfeeding Helpline 7 Days
We
usually have a cup of something hot (or cold if you prefer) and a bite to
eat. A small plate of nutritious food (or not so nutritious if you prefer)
to share is welcomed but not expected.
The
group
library and Mothers
Direct sales box
are available at meetings.
Coming along when you are pregnant is a great idea. Learning about breastfeeding before you have your baby helps you to be more confident when starting to feed. You can meet the counsellors and some of the other parents and you may find it more comfortable to return once you have had your baby.
Your
babies and toddlers are welcome at meetings, and older children during the
holidays. You may like to bring some favourite toys for your baby/child to
play with.
If
you or your children are sick, we ask that you consider the other families
and pregnant women in the group.
You
may like to bring along a friend or family member. They will be as welcome
as you are.
Don't
worry if you are running late—be proud you made it!
