OUR SERVICES

National UK Breastfeeding Support – Online Video Support

Our online support is free to any UK resident. You can be in bed, at home, hospital, in a tent camping or in the office – anywhere that suits you. All you need is internet and a phone, tablet or laptop with a camera. Access Zoom with a link that we send you. 

Our support is delivered by qualified, experienced, professional Breastfeeding Counsellors and Lactation Consultants. 

Our support is free to UK residents. We are funded by donations and grants. We do not receive any government or statutory funding. 

This service is great because you have one-to-one video support and a comforting chat with someone who is dedicated to listening to you. Support is unlimited, we are here to listen and guide you for as long as you and baby need us.

How do I access online support?

Message our Facebook Inbox, here: https://www.facebook.com/MaddiesMiracle.Bus

Email us at support@maddiesmiracle.org.uk

Both our Facebook Inbox and the email above are monitored by our Maddie’s Miracle Breastfeeding Counsellors. 

Is it one-to-one? 

Yes, our online support is always one to one. This ensures that you receive bespoke guidance and support tailored to your needs and your baby’s needs. It also provides you with your own space to talk and be listened to – which so often is lacking for mothers!

I’m not in the UK, can I still access support?

As a UK charity our funding is dedicated to UK families. Some of our funding is reserved for specific areas like England or Scotland, or specific towns or counties eg Cambridegshire. If you are based outside of the UK, we ask for a £50 donation prior to your consultation in order to cover our expenses. Thank you for your understanding.

Local Groups (in-person)

Local Groups provide breastfeeding and community support in a group setting. Mothers and babies can still access one-to-one consultations, although this depends on how busy the group is on any given day, so it is best to come early if you’d like one-to-one support.

Maddie’s Miracle Breastfeeding Community Group meets every Wednesday 

Time: 9.30am to 11am 

Location: The Garden Rooms, Bournemouth Foodbank, 118 Haviland Road, Boscombe, Bournemouth, Dorset, BH7 6HW

This group ran for a year successfully, it sadly ran out of funding and had to close. We are working on fundraising to reopen this group. This group was recognised in Scottish Parliament by SMP Michelle Thomas honouring its services to families in Scotland. The group was led by the wonderful Caroline Harrower IBCLC who was a winner of the coveted ABM’s Pam Lacet Awards in 2024

This is a new group which we are working on funding. It will be led by Breastfeeding Counsellor Becky James, in honour of our founder Maddie McMahon who lived in Sheringham and served families in Sheringham 

This group has gone independent and is now called Connected Parents CIC, it is still run by the same lovely team of Jo and Sarah: Free New Parent Group Ramsey | Baby & Breastfeeding Support — Sarah Drawwater – The Nostalgic Doula
