Hello! We are Valley Feeding Friends!!!
Like many women, we each have our own story of feeding our babies, from difficult starts, massive over- supply of milk to relactating, we have been through many journeys and are passionate about supporting women and families.
We look so young and sleepy!
After having a tricky start with her first child and not having anyone that shared her love of breastmilk ice-lolly making, Kim began the Feeding Friends project as an Association of Breastfeeding Mothers Peer Supporter. She began informally supporting women in established baby and toddler groups in 2015. As Covid-19 shut these groups down she began running online groups and virtual support for women.
This year, we have gathered as a tribe to form a dedicated Infant Feeding Support Group which will run weekly, offering free, friendly, face to face support to families.
By donating you can help support more volunteers to become trained peer supporters, buy equipment that will help support our families like books for our library, breast pumps we can loan out, woolly boobs and dolls (though we do love our Santa puppet), cake and to pay for the less fun stuff like the hall hire and overheads.
Thank you for your support, any donation, even a few pennies, makes an enormous difference to the running of our group.
