Breastfeeding mothers are invited to GBSN’s FREE virtual face to face social groups. A Breastfeeding Counsellor (BFC) and Peer Supporter (PS) will be present and it will be a chance for you talk or share if you want to, listen to others and meet new people.
The groups are free to attend and will last for up to an hour.
Please join the group’s facebook page to find out details of the Event
Please note that you will need to have your video/camera on throughout the group as it is face to face.
Some mothers will be breastfeeding, some expressing, some mixed feeding. Some mothers will have new babies, some older babies or toddlers. Some may be starting breastfeeding, some may be weaning. GBSN recognises that every mother’s breastfeeding experience is different.
If you have a breastfeeding issue or a question that you’d like to talk about with a BFC, we offer next day virtual video support, sometimes the same day. Please book a free virtual 1:1 session (link is below)
If you have attended, please fill in an attendance form (link is further below). These are vital for us to evidence the support we have given when making grant applications to keep GBSN running.

You can breastfeed and still be you.
We believe that each mother’s breastfeeding experience is unique.
Each mother’s breastfeeding goals are different.
Breastfeeding looks different for each mother and each baby.
Breastfeeding is not always easy – that’s why we’re here.
We work with you. What are your goals?
Thank you for your continuing support as we do our best to continue to provide free breastfeeding support to the amazing women of Gloucestershire.
If you are able to donate to help GBSN keep going, we would be more grateful now than ever before.
“Help when I needed it most. No pressure, no judgement. Just care.” – GBSN attendee 2018
“Baps was absolutely crucial, and still is, to me during my breastfeeding journey. Without them in the first few weeks I could have easily given up from not knowing where to turn.” – GBSN Attendee 2018
