If you wish to access online feeding support, please request to join our private group, 'Swindon Breastmates (Breastfeeding Support)'. Swindon Breastmates is a network of free breastfeeding support groups, run by NHS Swindon in association with the NCT, in children's centres, across Swindon and the surrounding area. They are informal drop-in groups, run by mums who are not only trained in breastfe

eding support, but who have breastfed, or in most cases who still are breastfeeding, their own children. You don't have to be having any breastfeeding problems in order to attend. Pregnant women are not only welcome, but positively encouraged, to come along and ask any questions they may have on the subject. And what's more, there is usually cake. Other breastfeeding support available, all free of charge for everyone:

• Antenatal breastfeeding workshops - ask your midwife for more details
• Breastfeeding support at the hospital by trained volunteer breastfeeding supporters - watch out for the ladies in lilac!
• Local NCT trained breastfeeding counsellors who can support you over the phone and in person.
