🌍World Breastfeeding Week - Meet Katie 🌸

I recently moved to Newtown and wanted to connect with some other mums so decided to come along to the Newtown breastfeeding group. I have been so lucky to be welcomed by such a lovely bunch and am enjoying offering breastfeeding support.

I have been a breastfeeding peer supporter for around 5 years and have up till now mainly done online support for a twin charity (I have twins).

I am very passionate about supporting families and am training to be a midwife. I have 4 boys and my youngest Rhiw is 2.5 years old and is still enjoying breastfeeding.

🌍 World Breastfeeding Week - Meet Sophie 🌸

I chose to become a peer supporter in Powys because I've previously been a peer supporter in Wiltshire when my older kids were little. i found peer supporting to be so rewarding, helping a mum on her breast feeding journey is a great feeling.

I've breast fed all 4 of my kids and i know how hard it can be, from tongue tie, to supply issues, just not being able to get the positioning right in the early days and refusing to latch I've had a wider range of problems to over come and sharing that knowledge I've gained is a fantastic way to give back to other mums.

🌍 World Breastfeeding Week – Meet Chloe🌸

I chose to become a peer supporter because I had to navigate tongue tie and latch issues with both my son and my daughter. These challenges meant I only managed to breastfeed my son for 7 months, which left me heartbroken when our journey ended sooner than I’d hoped. Thankfully, with more support and knowledge, my daughter and I have now made it past 12 months and we’re still going strong. I’d love to help other mums continue on their breastfeeding journey too, and feel supported through the tough moments, just like I wish I’d had back then.

What amazing news!
We are here to support mums on their breastfeeding journey 🤱🏻💗

New Welsh Government figures show breastfeeding rates in Wales are rising – a positive sign for babies and families.

Breastfeeding is part of a much bigger picture. The first 1,000 days shape health for life, and early support can make the biggest difference.
