Treasure Chest Breastfeeding Group aims to promote, support and encourage breastfeeding in the York area.
We run various in-person support groups across York every week, and a virtual Zoom session most Monday’s. Please see our website for more details.
We run weekly support groups, a monthly antenatal workshop for pregnant women and a partner, and have a private Facebook group where you can chat to our trained peer supporters as well as meet other local breastfeeding families.
Our peer supporters are all volunteers who have breastfed their child for at least six months and have undergone training to enable them to support other families who wish to breastfeed. They have all had 20 hours of training which covers areas such as counselling and listening skills, how breastfeeding works and how to tackle breastfeeding problems.
Please see our website and/or Facebook page for up to date details of how and when to get support.
‘Highly recommend going on the Treasure Chest course, they will answer all your questions and can support you in feeding. X’

‘Gave lots of good advice and tips which were invaluable when attempting to do the first feeds when you’re knackered from the birth! Plenty of excellent support on the Treasure Chest FB group too, invaluable when you’ve got feeding questions in the middle of the night as a bunch of other mums will also be awake!’
