Breastfeeding support groups take place all around Ireland.
You may find these helpful if you're:
- pregnant and thinking about breastfeeding
- new to breastfeeding and have questions
- finding it hard to breastfeed and need advice
- want to meet other mothers who are breastfeeding
At breastfeeding support groups, mothers at the same stage as you share advice and socialise.
You can also speak to a breastfeeding expert.
