Our breastfeeding rates for May 2008 were 71% at birth.

ABC has had a few staffing changes recently; see the ABC Team page for more details about how each surgery is affected. We have been very sad to see Nathalie leave us but wish her well as she starts her new job, and we welcome the new midwives who have joined the team.

The aims of the study are:

• • To introduce Breastfeeding Peer Support
• • To give an idea of the role of the peer supporter and how it fits in with the other breastfeeding support that is around
• • To enable health professionals to identify suitable mothers to train as peer supporters and to sign post mothers to the group once it is running
• • To give a flavour of the style of the training that the peer supporters will have
• • To introduce the coordinators
• • To give an opportunity for limited updating about breastfeeding.

Please could as many midwives as possible attend, especially those that work at Shepherd’s Spring and Adelaide Surgeries?

The study is paid for by the DoH and the NCT will provide coffee and cakes in the break!! What more could you want!

Thank you
Paula
