Breastfeeding helps develop a strong emotional bond with your child

BILLS HAS MOVED. The Lighthouse Children’s Centre is currently undergoing building work and for the duration, BILLS has moved to St Paul’s Church, Stroud Road, Gloucester and will be running on Mondays from 1pm until 2.30pm.
URGENT NEWS: On 1 April 2010 NHS Gloucestershire stopped all funding to GBSN support groups. This is a huge blow to all our peer supporters, specialist workers and, of course, the many mothers and babies who attend our groups. This decision by NHS Gloucestershire will almost certainly lead to the closure of a number of our groups. Please get involved with our ‘Save Our Support Groups’ campaign. And for ideas on how to help raise much needed funds please visit our Fundraising section.
A charity providing support groupsfor breastfeeding mums, run by breastfeeding mums.
The Gloucestershire Breastfeeding Supporters’ Network (GBSN) began in 2002 with our first two support groups in Cheltenham. Gaining charity status in 2007, we now have 11 GBSN groups throughout the county. These groups all run weekly, offering information and support to women who would like to breastfeed or are already breastfeeding.
The GBSN philosophy is that:
we offer mothers from our county the same high quality of breastfeeding help and support wherever they seek it.
we ensure that each group offers that same standard of care.
we support each other and uphold our philosophy.
All of our groups are run by peer supporters, who are trained to listen and respond sensitively. We also have a Breastfeeding Specialist Worker on hand at each group, as well as a wealth of books and DVDs for you to borrow free-of-charge.
If you would like to drop into one of our groups for some one-off information, you will be made to feel very welcome. Alternatively, for on-going support, make a note of your nearest group and come along weekly.
For further information on any of the groups, please contact info@gbsn.org.uk.
We look forward to meeting you soon.
