Comment on Nestle claims that its formula ‘protects’ babies – email your complaint in now! by Dominique

I have just whistled off my own e-mail to Nestle and urge everyone to boycott their products – there’s other coffee out there besides Nescafe. Their abuse of science is iniquitous and this in nothing less than corporate murder.

I initially came to the group, when my 2nd son was 4weeks old, to meet people who had babies of a similar age and were breastfeeding. I came regularly over the next 11months – weekly to start with, then fortnightly, then monthly – until I went back to work. It’s a great place to step away from the hub-bub of family life, have some quiet time and focus on your baby and it’s basic needs.

Being among other people who are breastfeeding gives great reassurance even if you don’t have any particular problems – there’s always someone there who’s been through whatever this week’s niggle is.

I learnt lots I didn’t know previously about breastfeeding. I’ve recently been back to talk about stopping breastfeeding (Merric’s almost 14months now) and what might happen when I go away for a week without him. Glad to say all the info was very positive and it’s taken a weight off my mind knowing that I’m likely to be able to continue feeding him when I get back if he wants to.

Big thanks to Beth, Caroline, Debbie, Dom and Helen!

As a first time mum, nothing can prepare you for the experience of breastfeeding. I’d been to an ante-natal workshop and thought I knew what to do, but when my son arrived I found out we both had a lot of new skills to learn. Debbie, Caroline and the team were so supportive in helping us – from the technical issues of getting a good latch and comfortable positioning, to the more practical issues such as what to wear so that you don’t expose your boobs or saggy tummy in public (an M&S vest with stretchy straps under a loose T-shirt, if you’re wondering)!

7 months on, I’m really enjoying feeding my son and meeting new people who come along to the group.

I visited BBB when I was pregnant and started going weekly pretty soon after Archie was born. Debbie and Caroline were so helpful and encouraging, enabling me to carry on when I doubted myself!!! I’m still breastfeeding Archie who is 10 months old and it feels amazing to have given my baby the best start in life. Even if you have no problems with breast feeding I would recommend the group as there’s always wee tips and it’s lovely to socialise with like-minded mums.
