OBS is here to help
Oxfordshire Breastfeeding Support provides local breastfeeding support in the community via four weekly in person support sessions, video and phone consultations, 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!
