C.B.S Community Breastfeeding Support

Supporting, Informing &
Advocating Breastfeeding In The Community

We are a community owned program helping to support women and their families in the choice to breastfeeding.

The C.B.S program is focused on providing breastfeeding peer support to new mothers. These new mothers are supported from pregnancy and beyond by women with experience and training in supporting breastfeeding women.

We encourage informed decisions in regards to breastfeeding. We also encourage a comfortable and relaxed breastfeeding relationship with your infant - without judgement from others.

Other features of C.B.S:

• Weekly social meetings that other new and experienced breastfeeding mothers attend.
• A hire system for products that promote the breastfeeding relationship
• Access to a lactation Consultant on a regular basis

C.B.S does NOT offer medical advice. We encourage every mother to seek professional advice from her midwife, child health nurse, lactation consultant, and GP.

Why is C.B.S needed:

Unfortunately in our modern society breastfeeding is still facing adversity. While most women are aware of the health benefits of breastfeeding sometimes the challenges a new mother faces can be overwhelming.

It is important that mothers have an environment and community in which their emotional needs in regards to breastfeeding are supportively met.

C.B.S volunteers are dedicated to providing this type of support to new mothers and their families.
