Breast-start mini-packs

Testimonial

I am one of the Co-ordinators of Community Mums (Scotland). Our organisation is the first Community Mothers Project in Scotland. Through Celia Suppiah’s support and guidance, we have been able to establish a pilot project in our area. Celia has encouraged and supported us and allowed our organisation to fully benefit from their well-established and developed materials, training packages and expertise. Celia has also arranged for our organisation to attend workshops and events which have been invaluable in assisting us in furthering our programme.

These economical mini-packs contain easy to use booklets which are ideal for peer supporters to share and then leave with families. They can also be used for a range of other breastfeeding promotion activities. The booklets mirror the range of cartoons included in the Breast-start manual. The colourful illustrations give mothers and their partners the chance to reflect on a breastfeeding support interaction and the key issues that were discussed.

Each mini-pack is an eight page A5 booklet.
