Liverpool Community BAMBIS

Liverpool Community BAMBIS is an information and support group for breastfeeding families.

The purpose of this group is for 'mother to mother' support, where people can post resources/ information relating to breastfeeding and talk about their personal experiences. We as BAMBIS Peer Support Workers are NOT allowed to diagnose medical problems or recommend medical treatment. Any Mum having breastfeeding issues of a medical nature (for example thrush or mastitis) must always speak to their own GP.

Our bambis peer supporters are only trained to advise Healthy, Full term breastfed babies, some of us have never used any formula and we have no training in that area therefore we can not offer any advice on or which formula to use but we also respect your choice if you do choose to change to formula

There should be no sales of any sort on this site breastfeeding related or not. Bambis can not get involved in any sales made via private message or any other place.

As Bambis we do not judge people for the choices they have made but rather support them with evidence based information to help them successfully breastfeed. This should not be misinterpreted as judgemental.
We are all here to support each other and there should be no unsupportive comments or upsetting comments. If there are any of these comments, they will be deleted. We are here to support breastfeeding mums and would like the page to remain a place where breastfeeding mums can share achievements and experiences without criticism.
If you feel a comment has offended you please contact one of the page admins (list of admin at the bottom) who will respond as soon as possible. Please try to avoid arguing on the thread/page as this is very off putting for many mums including those who are new to the page. Most women on this group do not intentionally cause anyone to feel judged or attacked for their decisions.

Sarah Todd, Danielle Price, Mary Gorst, Sarah Jones, Suzie Alegre, Susan Aitken, Rach Kelly, Lucy Murphy, Christina Fitzgerald, Tiruwork Woldetsadik, Rachel Maudsley and Laura Brown.
