Service Description

Join us for a friendly and welcoming new parents' group, where you can connect with others, while accessing group-based breastfeeding and infant care support in a supportive and non-judgemental environment. Parents and their babies are invited to join with specific feeding or baby care queries, or simply to connect with others and share their experiences of early parenthood. The Café is supported by Angie Borzychowski, a breastfeeding counsellor, holistic infant sleep coach and postnatal group facilitator, trained by the National Childbirth Trust (NCT, UK). Peer supporters will also join to support the group by sharing their own experiences and helping parents work through questions or concerns. Parents-to-be are also welcome to join in for discussions and to start building an understanding of the infant feeding experience. Angie is an advocate of attachment-based responsive parenting but also supports families to make the decisions that work best for them and their personal situations. The Village Baby Care and Breastfeeding Café is held every other Wednesday morning from 10:30am until noon; parents can drop-in at any time. Tea/coffee and snacks will be provided, along with a play area for older babies and toddlers. Supporters of the café are volunteers and therefore there is no cost to take part. A contribution towards the running costs of the venue is welcome, but not required.
