Peer Supporter Training Course and Antenatal Breastfeeding Education Sessions (360G-ocf-a061600000lBTti)

-We will train local mothers who have used Baby Cafe services to become volunteer Peer Supporters. They will be able to offer evidence-based infant feeding information and skilled support to other mothers in the community. -We will offer one off education sessions to women and their supporters towards the end of their pregnancies. These will give detailed evidence based information on lactation, breastfeeding and responsive parenting. Those attending such sessions previously (before our March 2016 funding cuts) reported less feeding difficulites and a better start than their peers who hadn't attended.
