OBS is here to help
Oxfordshire Breastfeeding Support provides local breastfeeding support in the community via four weekly in person support sessions, video and phone consultations, drop-in infant feeding support for families in The Leys, and monthly online antenatal breastfeeding education sessions for Oxfordshire families, facilitated by experienced IBCLCs and breastfeeding counsellors, supported by trained volunteers. We also run a friendly private Facebook group where you can quickly find support. If you are a student or visiting health professional see the page about observations for the latest news about what and where you can book to observe our work.
You can read about what to expect and how we've helped local families. Hope to see you soon!
In-person help
Book into one of our five weekly in-person sessions. On Tuesdays we are at the Barton Community Centre. On Wednesdays we are at the Kidlington Hub. On Thursdays we're at the Comper Foundation School in East Oxford and at Windale Primary School*. On Fridays, we're at the SOHA Housing Building in Didcot. Please book via our Calendly listings.
*Our Thursday session at Windale Primary School is primarily intended for families that live in Blackbird and Greater Leys but some pre-bookable slots are open to the wider community. Read more about our session in The Leys.
Breastfeeding Grief and Trauma Sessions in March
Did breastfeeding not go as you hoped or planned? Do you carry feelings of grief or trauma about your breastfeeding experience? We're running two one-off support sessions in March, one in-person and one online. Find out more and register.
Help by Video and Phone
Families that have trouble accessing other services can book free video and phone consultations with OBS facilitators.
