Breastfeeding Resources and Groups

---

You've done the antenatal classes and birth preparation, and now you are looking for breastfeeding resources and support.

Here is a list of local breastfeeding support groups in the Lewisham area. Even if you are breastfeeding confidently, they can be a great place to meet other parents and make new friends. They can also act as a regular meet-up and some adult company, which can be a lovely thing as a new parent.
