Breast is best, says group
A BREAST-feeding support group in Melksham is encouraging new mums to join them to get advice, information and support.
The Breast is Best supporters group, which is based at King's Park Children's Centre, meets every Friday from 10.30am-midday.
It is run by trained mums in a relaxed, friendly and comfortable environment and is a great opportunity to make new friends.
A health visitor from the Melksham team also attends on the first Friday of each month to offer additional help and advice and toys and refreshments are available for older siblings as well as babies.
Alison Ancrum, manager of the children's centre, said: "The group can be extremely beneficial for first time mums who are in a situation which is completely new to them, enabling them to seek advice so they do not feel alone or unsupported."
The group is planning to launch a telephone support network soon so mums can access support when they most need it.
For more information call (01225) 793347 or just drop in.
