A BREASTFEEDING charity has found a new way to be ‘in it together’ during lockdown, supporting over 300 local families.
Lockdown has proved to be no obstacle for South Cumbria Breastfeeding Support, with the charity now able to offer more support to local mums during Covid-19 than was available prior to lockdown.
This service has enabled parents to access vital support during a time where many other services have needed to close. Prior to lockdown the charity operated three Breastfeeding Support groups in Kendal, Windermere and Ulverston.
To continue support during lockdown, an online forum was launched to enable mums to connect with each other at home. Within days of lockdown, the charity was running regular live virtual get-togethers, antenatal classes and Q&A sessions.
