Breastfeeding Support Groups

Nourish and Nurture

Our Nourish and Nurture sessions combine the art of Infant Massage with support and information about breastfeeding and are aimed at parents whose babies are receiving any amount of breast milk.

We know that breastfeeding takes many different forms from all feeds at the breast to exclusively pumping and many other variations in between. Our Nourish and Nurture sessions provide the opportunity for parents to come together within their community to chat with other parents and carers about the stages of infant feeding and caring for a new baby.

What you can expect?

• All sessions are baby-led and all baby states from crying to sleeping are welcome.
• All sessions will provide a play area if you choose to bring older children along.
• Handouts of Infant Massage strokes as per the International Association of Infant Massage (IAIM).

Bring along some natural vegetable oil (such as sunflower or coconut oil) and a towel/blanket to use during the session.

All facilitators in our groups are trained in Breastfeeding and Infant Massage.

All our groups have a trained Breastfeeding Peer Supporter who has experience in providing breast milk to their child.

All sessions will have parent-led discussions and topics may include:

• How to maximise breast milk production
• Why babies feed frequently
• Why night feeds or expressing during the nighttime is important
