Welcome to Breast Buddies

Breast Buddies is a community group which aims to promote breastfeeding in Leeds.

We are a group of mums who have all breastfed our children and want to encourage other mums to start (or continue) breastfeeding.

If you would like to meet one of our trained peer supporters for information and support about breastfeeding then please contact Kathryn on 0113 260 4187 or at info@breastbuddies.org

 

To hire a Medela breastpump please contact Jenni at breastpump@breastbuddies.org

It is our hope to promote breastfeeding in Leeds by keeping breastfeeding in the press and by working with other organisations.

We organised a poster campaign to celebrate Breastfeeding Awareness Week 11th to 17th May. The posters can be seen below. For more information about the Breastfeeding Belles poster campaign please click here.

 

The new Leeds City Museum now has its own Breastfeeding Belle.

We are also maintaining a database of breastfeeding friendly places in Leeds.
