This years theme for International Women’s Day is
Rights - Justice - Action.

🚨Key research has found non‑English speaking women are 25x more likely to die during pregnancy or after birth.

❗️This is unacceptable & must be urgently addressed❗️

This we’re taking action and tackling the issue head on through our collaborative initiative ESOL Baby Steps.

🟨ESOL Baby Steps is a free, community-led resource helping new mother and pregnant women build language, confidence and connection.

Can I attend a breastfeeding support group before baby arrives? Yes, and it’s a great idea to!

Attending a group before baby arrives gives you time to ask questions, practice hold positions with a doll and learn more about feeding. In addition, it’s a great opportunity to meet other new parents and get familiar with the group set up and staff/ breastfeeding supporter.

There are lots of local support groups around Cheshire and Merseyside, speak to your midwife about groups in your area.
