Oops! We forgot our own birthday! 🤦🏻♀️
Our free 1:1 breastfeeding support video call service turned 3 at the end of March.
Some of our volunteers think of the 1:1 service as our "8th group".
To book a free video call, simply follow the link in our bio.
This Sunday! Hope to see you there! 😊🤞🎪

Know anyone who training as a midwife or health visitor? On 6th September, I’m offering a free hour’s training on early breastfeeding problems. You can get zoom link here: form.jotform.com/21304296060…
A midwifery lecturer told me it was one of the best sessions she had ever attended.
This week sees November draw to a close, which means that we'll have spent our most recent Lotto Communities Fund grant.
We're extremely grateful to Lotto for their support which was given to us specifically in relation to the theme of "connections".

We were delighted to receive a letter and certificate from @Cllr_whyborn @CheltenhamMayor acknowledging and thanking us for our work to maintain free breastfeeding support throughout the various COVID lockdowns.

"I've decided that, although I am breastfeeding, I'm going to go ahead and get the vaccination."
New mum Shantelle explains why she'll be getting the #COVID19 vaccine.
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding & have concerns about the jab speak to your GP.

Happy Birthday to us! Gloucestershire Breastfeeding Supporters Network is 14 years old today!
GBSN brought together as a network, a number of well-established breastfeeding support groups already running in Gloucestershire, so our experience goes back even further! 😊🥳
WE ARE OPEN TOMORROW!
Both MOBS Dursley and our video support call service are running on Bank Holiday Monday!
1:1 calls need to be booked via our website. You do NOT need to book for any of our in person groups. Full details in our linktree.

I hear people say, “Give yourself a break. We’re coping with a pandemic.”
It seems we’ve got permission to be kind to ourselves & have off-days.
Now we need the ‘it’s OK to not be on top of everything’ vibe to continue forever. That should be part of the new normal.
A space has unexpectedly become available on our next FREE Preparation for Breastfeeding Zoom Workshop....starting TONIGHT! Please email info @ gbsn.org.uk to book the space! 🤰🤱
