Whether you're combining breastfeeding with infant formula or considering mixed feeding, during this session we'll be exploring the different options, discussing what mixed feeding is, common reasons families choose or need to use it, how it may affect breastfeeding and milk supply, and practical tips for introducing infant formula while supporting your breastfeeding relationship.

Topics include:

• What mixed feeding is
• How it may affect breastfeeding and milk supply
• Introducing infant formula
• Responsive feeding and feeding cues
• Where to find ongoing support

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

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

This is a very relaxed meet 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 are welcome.
Our catch ups are held in the playgroup room - it's a safe space with plenty of play areas, toys and books to keep kids of all ages entertained. There’s also great, affordable coffee and meals at the on-site community café.
