Breastfeeding Support:
Coming soon more details of La Leche League leader Bonnie Cooper:
Having a baby...?
...or just had one?
Need help breastfeeding?
Wondering where to start?
Or just fancy meeting other mums?
Breastfeeding Q&A is a Dubai based voluntary support group run by mums for mums.
Breast Feeding Group meet:
Monthly meet-up for breastfeeding and expecting mums at Al Wasl hospital this Sunday. It's an ideal opportunity to ask any questions you may have about breastfeeding - or simply to meet other breastfeeding mums over a cup of tea and a biscuit.
RSVP to Emily emily_glynn@yahoo.com
We have booked Ward 9 Seminar Room from 10am to 12pm. To get there, walk straight across the main reception (Boots and Starbucks on your left), and through the doorway past the security guard. If he asks, just say you're going to the bf mothers meeting. Then turn right and take the lift or escalator to the first floor and follow signs to Ward 9.
As we are a voluntary group, there is of course no charge but a AED10 donation would be appreciated to cover refreshments.
For further details, join our online group at Breastfeeding Q&A
