OBS is here to help
Oxfordshire Breastfeeding Support provides local breastfeeding support in the community via five weekly in person support sessions, video and phone consultations, drop-in infant feeding support for families in The Leys, and monthly online antenatal breastfeeding education sessions for Oxfordshire families, facilitated by experienced IBCLCs and breastfeeding counsellors, supported by trained volunteers. We also run a friendly private Facebook group where you can quickly find support. If you are a student or visiting health professional see the page about observations for the latest news about what and where you can book to observe our work.
You can read about what to expect and how we've helped local families. Hope to see you soon!
In-person help
Book into one of our five weekly in-person sessions. On Tuesdays we are at the Barton Community Centre. On Wednesdays we are at the Kidlington Hub. On Thursdays we're at the Old Schoolhouse in East Oxford and at Windale Primary School in The Leys. On Fridays, we're at the Didcot Library. Please book via our Calendly listings.
Can you support as a trustee?
We're recruiting a new Treasurer and a Strategy and Impact Trustee. If you have been helped by OBS this is a great way of paying it forward. Or maybe you know someone who would make a great trustee? Please share and see our Recruitment page for more information. Applications have been extended to 10 September 2024.
Help by Video and Phone
Families that have trouble accessing our other services can book free video and phone consultations with OBS facilitators.
