Opportunities with DVC - Milk&You

Milk&You is a Peer Support Project supporting parents to feed their babies in the way they choose. We support the normalising of breastfeeding and help parents to responsively bottle feed their babies. Our group of breastfeeding peer support volunteers are trained to offer guidance on infant feeding. Our Project serves those living in Northamptonshire. Support groups are currently located in Daventry and Towcester and Corby. We provide support in various ways: - Face to face in groups; indoors and outdoors - Home Visits - Telephone and Text - Virtual Groups - Video - Facebook Messenger - Email - Buggy Walks - 1-2-1 All our breastfeeding peer support volunteers are mums who have breastfed their own babies and completed a 40 hour training programme to develop the skills and knowledge required to support parents over the course of their breastfeeding journey. We also run the following Schemes: - FREE Breast Pump Loan - Breastfeeding Friendly - Donation Bank (Infant Feeding Items) - Feeding Friends (Public Breastfeeding Buddy) Milk&You’s Breastfeeding Cafés and groups provide a warm and welcoming environment for parents, their infants/children and anyone else they wish to bring along for support! Peer Supporters are on hand to provide breast and bottle-feeding help and information and they welcome questions from friends and family who want to talk about infant feeding too.
