Have you ever heard it takes a village to raise a child? In Southwark we are creating our very own village, a Peer support network for families to lean back on. Our team is here to cheer you on, listen and support you.
The Breastfeeding Network has been commissioned by Southwark council to provide free, non-judgmental, evidence based baby feeding information to all Southwark families.
Our team of peer supporters and volunteers are here to support you throughout your feeding journey. Pregnant, combination feeding, expressing, exclusively breastfeeding, chestfeeding, newborn, toddler, ending your breastfeeding journey, debriefing feelings about a previous journey, whatever your situation we are here for you and everyone’s welcome.
Our service is continually growing and developing so please do check our social media (links below) for news and updates and details of any upcoming training.
