Wonderful WORLD BREASTFEEDING WEEK 2023 🤱🏽 1-7 August. And how important is this years theme! Making a difference for working parents. I wish I had been equipped with better support and knowledge when I went back to work & continued to breastfeed and express 😅

Congratulations to our ten new Breastfeeding Peer Supporter graduates who successfully completed their peer support training course in Dunedin last week 🎉🤩

A great and well-earned result after their dedication and commitment to training. We look forward to seeing them sharing their breastfeeding knowledge to support others - in their community, in their work, or in the Peer Support drop-in sessions.
Based in the South Dunedin Mall, The Breast Room drop-in clinic provides free breastfeeding support service for mums, parents, and whānau in the Dunedin area, alongside other personalised support as needed. 😁

For further information or to find a peer supporter in your area see www.breastfeedingsos.co.nz and facebook.com/TheBreastRoom

Well here’s the piece of paper ✅ Now nothing would mean more to me than being able to support a mother &/or their whanau. As a breast feeding support person I may meet you at your most challenging and vulnerable moment. Requiring support with your breast feeding journey may only be the tip of the ice berg. Lets get real about being a parent and normalise the struggles as much as the beauty and joy because that is life. I hope people will sense my genuine, non judgemental heartfelt approach as I embrace being the best support person I can be 💜
Please share with anyone you think may be in need of some support.

Two very cool gifts I received on my breast feeding support course today to equip me with some more knowledge & resources to support mothers on their breast feeding journey 👏 yes that is a knitted breast!

To all the women out there! The mamas, the Gogos, the auntie mamas, those who are mamas to angels, those who have chosen not to be mamas 💜
Never under estimate your strength!

Following my passion for supporting mothers and young children through the early years I am excited to be starting breastfeeding support training this Friday 👏
