Meetings in May.

In May we shall be holding two Series Meetings (Discussion Meetings) on the topic of ‘The Family and Breastfeeding’.

The Lenton meeting will be on Friday 11th May from 10 a.m. – 11.30 a.m. and the West Bridgford meeting will be on Monday 28th May 1.30 – 3.00 p.m. For more details about the venues please check the appropriate page – or phone one of the Leaders.

We’ll look forward to seeing you and your little ones there.

Meetings in April.

There will be a meeting in Lenton, this Friday (13th April) in the morning, and also in West Bridgford on Monday 30th April, in the afternoon. We will be discussing how to overcome/avoid breastfeeding challenges, yet all questions about breastfeeding and mothering are welcomed.

For more information about the times and venues, please see the page about meeting details.

We look forward to seeing you there!

 

 

Exciting News! ‘One off’ Discussion Meeting to be held at the Nottingham Central Library.

We are delighted to be able to hold a ‘one off’ Series Meeting (Discussion Meeting) on Thursday 5th April 10 a.m. – 12 p.m. at the Nottingham Central Library (on Angel Row) in the Cecil Roberts Room.

For those mums who would like to attend meetings but have difficulties with getting to the meetings in Lenton and West Bridgford, then I hope this venue will be that bit more accessible.

Any breastfeeding/mothering question may be raised at the meeting, but we will begin with ‘The Family and Breastfeeding’ as a starting point for discussion.

And… we can serve hot drinks which will be a welcome bonus! Looking forward to seeing you there – any breastfeeding or pregnant mums, babies and toddlers are always welcome.

Join us on Facebook!

We, the Leaders, have been talking for some time about whether Facebook is something that we could/should use to help spread the word about meetings and the support we offer in and around Nottingham. Having come to the conclusion that the benefits outweigh the possible downsides, we have taken the plunge and have set up a closed group.

This should mean that anyone can see the group and who is a member but not the posts (although with the ever changing thing that is Facebook, this may change).  Any member of the group can invite a friend to join, but admin (that’s the Leaders who are on Facebook) has to approve them.  Any member can post, but please try to keep it mothering and breastfeeding related and please bear in mind that it’s not for advertising products or businesses.
If you are on Facebook, then do come and join us.  If it’s not your thing, we will still be sending out regular emails and our website will continue to provide details about meetings and other relevant information.

Best wishes from all the Leaders.

Here we are on Facebook:

Coffee morning in Keyworth, Tuesday 20th March.

I can’t promise cakes as good as this at the coffee morning, but there’ll no doubt be something nice to eat, and importantly, lots of mums who want to share stories and support one another in their breastfeeding experience. If you’re interested in coming along, please email us.

If you’ve got a gmail account read on…

Please note that we are experiencing problems in sending emails from our hotmail account to mothers who have gmail accounts; they appear to be bouncing back. Either add our email address to your contact list (which may solve the problem) or check the website for up-to-date details of meetings.  Alternatively, phone one of the Leaders if you want a question about meetings, or need some breastfeeding counselling.

Many thanks!
