KEIGHLEY Healthy Living is promoting its Breastfeeding Buddies in various parts of town.
The Buddies, women who have already breastfeed their children, offer advice, support and encouragement to pregnant women and new mothers.
They host free drop-in groups at Keighley Healthy Living, Scott Street, on Tuesdays and Fridays from 10am to noon.
There is also a drop-in session on Tuesdays from 1pm to 3pm at the Daisy Chain Children’s Centre in Silsden.
One first-time mum said: “I was finding breastfeeding very difficult in the first few weeks and was thinking of giving up. With some help with positioning and attachment I felt more confident to continue to breastfeed."
The Breastfeeding Buddies undergo a 10-week training course at Keighley Healthy Living.
Anyone wanting more information or to arrange to see a breastfeeding Buddy should call Julie Thomas on 07990 700842 or ask their midwife or health visitor.
