Being unwell is often a very difficult and worrying time. Sometimes even more so when we are breastfeeding. Is it safe to continue feeding? How can we ensure that we recover as quickly as possible? What happens if I need to be separated from my baby? Today we will answer some of these questions to help you feel more prepared when illness inevitably hits.

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!
