Babies and Breastfeeding Information Encouragement Support

 

Is held weekly on Wednesday mornings at the Lanterns Children’s Centre Winchester. It was started on May 16 2007,by NCT Winchester and is run by Jane Moffett and Jennie Gavin, both N.C.T Breastfeeding Counsellors. It is open in 2012 thanks to amazing generosity from users of the service, members of our local community,Winchester Round Table but most of all the dedicated fundraising team of 2011.

B.A.B.I.E.S has provided a safe place for mothers to come for support, to ask questions, share their difficulties and meet other mothers with similar concerns. 

"Jane and Jennie provided me with invaluable advice and helped me find new positions to feed my baby comfortably. It was a great help also to meet other mums and realise that I was not alone. After a bumpy start, I am now breastfeeding again." C.S 2011

 

"BABIES is an invaluable resource to new mums in the Winchester area." J.P 2010

"Attending the BABIES session helped with my self-esteem. It wasn’t me that needed to learn the technique, more my baby! " S.M 2010

 

BABIES costs approximately £5,000 annually to run and is available 51weeks of the year to any breastfeeding or pregnant woman in Winchester and the surrounding area. Since May 2007 we have received funding from the NCT Winchester branch, An Awards For all Grant and donations from Winchester Round Table and Lanterns Children's Centre as well as many very generous individual donations and fundraising from a wonderfully committed and hardworking team. A summer funday in June 2012, after  successful events in 2009, 2010,2011, is now being planned, see the nct winchester website for more details.

 Please show your support by donating any amount, large or small, to ensure this vital service continues in 2012. Thank-you.
