Right from the start a lot of mothers have an idea about how long they will breastfeed. This predicted time is often influenced by their own ideas and maybe social and family pressures. While some mothers stick to their original plan, many go on to breastfeed for longer than planned. But eventually all babies wean. Today we'll look at why we might wean, how to go about weaning and the emotions we might feel as and after our baby weans.
Our usual park is being renovated so this term we are trying a new venue - The Clubhouse Moorooka. A coffee or other drink of choice will included for members from the onsite cafe - Bean on the Green. There is plenty of space for children of all ages to run around and play.
This is a great opportunity to meet other local mums, bubs, older children and families. All are welcome! Let's share our experiences, and provide some support and encouragement for those who may need it.
A trained breastfeeding counsellor will be available to speak to.
