Breast Buddies Angus

Breast Buddies volunteers are mothers that have breastfed their own babies and have also received breastfeeding training.

Peer support is one of the recognised ways of increasing duration, success and satisfaction with breastfeeding” (Kaunonan et al, 2012).

Breast Buddies Angus is part of Voluntary Action Angus and one of our main aims is to increase breastfeeding rates in Angus by providing timely, evidence based and empathetic support to breastfeeding families. If you are interested in becoming a volunteer, contact us via our contact form below. Alternatively you can email pirieh@voluntaryactionangus.org.uk call 07857 618 032 or via our Facebook page

If you are looking for support on your feeding journey, please contact us at breastbuddies@voluntaryactionangus.org.uk, and one of our trained volunteers can offer you one to one support, via text or phone call. You can also reach our coordinator on 07857 618 032.

We are also running regular support groups across Angus, open to parents with bumps/babies of any age. They are free, drop in, very informal sociable groups, no need to have breastfeeding challenges to come along, you are welcome to come and chat to other mums over a cuppy.
