Summer Closure: 3-16 August
Our service will be closing completely for 2 weeks in August for a much needed rest. This includes our Facebook Group. Please see our list of Recommended Resources while we're shut. You can download our closure poster to print and share.
Support during the Covid-19 (Coronavirus) Pandemic
Please see our Coronavirus page for information about the ways we can still support you. While our drop-ins are suspended, OBS Facilitators are providing FREE 1 to 1 support by video. The first step is submitting a Help Request.
New: OBS Group
During lockdown our team has been missing the interactions with and between families at our drop-ins and we've thought a lot about how we could provide support in a group setting. After the success of our trial online OBS group session on June 18th we're going to run this group every Thursday afternoon. See our OBS Group page for details.
Our Antenatal Sessions are online
Please see our Antenatal Sessions page for details. You can say which date you prefer when you register.
Facebook Live Hour
Our Facebook Happy Hours were a great success and we've switched to Facebook Live broadcasts. You can join our Facebook group (area families only, pregnant/breastfeeding/lactating people only) and join in every Monday from 11 am till noon. Chat with facilitators and other parents and ask questions in real time!
OBS is collecting Smiles!

What we do
Oxfordshire Breastfeeding Support provides local breastfeeding support in the community in weekly drop-ins in and around Oxford, facilitated by experienced IBCLCs and breastfeeding support workers, and supported by specially trained volunteer peer supporters.
Come for help with specific issues or just to hang out with other breastfeeding mothers. Drop-ins are free to attend and partners and other supporters are welcome. You can read about what to expect and how we've helped local families. Hope to see you soon!
