Details

You and your baby have made it to a year of breastfeeding. Congratulations! It can be hard to imagine how feeding an older baby or toddler could work for your family - especially as many mums find that family and friends feel uncomfortable with the idea of breastfeeding beyond 12 months. However, breastfeeding continues to provide benefits to both you and your child. If you aren't ready to wean you don't have to! Bring all your questions and we will share some information and ideas about how to manage breastfeeding your older baby or toddler.

Our sessions involve getting together to participate in a group chat on a particular topic. After a general welcome and introduction we will have around 15-20 minutes of facilitated discussion, followed by informal social time and individual support with a breastfeeding counsellor.

Participants are encouraged to share experiences, ask questions, and provide input.

We meet at Shaftesbury Street Park, Tarragindi (on the Laura Street side, near the playground). A drink of choice is included from the nearby cafe. BYO picnic blanket or chair.

This is a very relaxed catch up – it’s fine if you come late/leave early – we know what it’s like to be operating on baby time! Partners, expectant parents, friends, and children of any age are welcome.

If you have breastfeeding questions that you would like support with, a trained breastfeeding counsellor will be there to help you.

For any questions on the event, contact tarragindi@breastfeeding.asn.au.

We look forward to seeing you there!
