Our Breastfeeding Peer Support volunteers are mothers who have breastfed their own child(ren) and have completed training in order to support you with evidence based information and empathy. The support you receive will be non judgmental – they are here to support you in your personal goal.
They are compliant with NHS Grampian confidentiality and information security procedures.
You might meet a breastfeeding peer supporter at an antenatal class. You can also go along to a breastfeeding group or you can join our breastfeeding support group on Facebook.

Our Breastfeeding Peer Support Volunteers can not visit you at home however they can meet you in your local community.
Some of our Breastfeeding Peer Supporters are also able to use our secure NHS NearMe video calling application to provide virtual video support so you do not need to leave your home.
Here is a picture of some of our volunteers – we have over 50 who are ready and waiting to support you!
