About Us
Friends of
Breastfeeding works to ensure that women in Ireland achieve their
desired breastfeeding experience. We network to connect women in
Ireland who want to breastfeed with their local support system. We
work to build communities of supportive friends, family and health
professionals - “friends” of breastfeeding. Friends of Breastfeeding was formed by a group of mothers who met on online parenting forums. Many of these mothers found the internet to be the only place they could access true support and reliable information and advice about breastfeeding. The need for two things was clear to everyone involved - better understanding of breastfeeding across the general public, and improved access to good breastfeeding support in Ireland for women who want to breastfeed their babies. |
