Mum2Mum Peer Support Programme

A Mum2Mum breastfeeding peer support programme operates in New Addington and Waddon. Peer supporters are local mothers who have breastfed their own children, and have undertaken a 20 hour training course to provide help and support to new mums.

As part of the programme we run weekly drop-ins at Fairchildes Children's Centre (New Addington) and Aerodrome Children's Centre (Waddon). These drop ins are run by the supporters with a member of the breastfeeding team available, who can help if required. We have hot and cold refreshments for anyone who drops in as well as a listening ear and practical help.

Volunteer Peer Supporters

Volunteer peer supporters are mothers who have breastfed their infants for more than four weeks and have an interest in breastfeeding. These mothers are able to offer informal befriending and support to mothers who are interested in giving breastfeeding a try, within a friendly and relaxed environment.

If you would like to find out more about the role of the volunteer peer supporter within the Mum2Mum programme or Baby Cafe then please contact the Peer Support Programme on 020 8714 2985 who will be happy to provide information about the training and to advise you when and where the next training will be held.
