💛 What is a Breastfeeding Peer Supporter? 💛 A breastfeeding peer supporter is someone who has personal breastfeeding experience and has received training to support other parents on their feeding journey 💕

Here at Breastfeeding Together, we have a team of dedicated hospital volunteers who provide invaluable support to new mums and babies on the maternity ward at Bolton Hospital. Highly trained, experienced, and compassionate, they go above and beyond 💕 – at Tyldesley, England

Some wonderful feedback for one of our Infant Feeding Peer Support Practitioners. It's great to hear the positive impact that Steph and Breastfeeding Together have had and that you have been able to access so many of our services - home visits, pump hire and groups.

Our Breastfeeding Peer Support 2 course is designed for mothers/parents who have breastfed (chestfed/nursed/given human milk to) their own babies and who have some existing breastfeeding knowledge. Visit "Breastfeeding Together Training" on Eventbrite to learn more and sign up.

We’re proud to support all parents, whether you feed directly from the breast/chest, exclusively pump, use donor milk, or choose a combination of feeding methods. We know how much feeding your baby matters to you, and it matters deeply to us as well. #feedbackfriday
