I was invited, via Facebook, to an event called Bosom Buddies today. The group's main focus is making mummies feel confident breastfeeding in public. Dads are welcome too.

I went along not expecting anything really apart from a group of women breastfeeding and talking about breastfeeding. I think I was expecting some hard core breastfeeding mummies that would think their way is the right way and breast is best.

I had seen so many women discuss breastfeeding on Twitter with very oppressive views. It was lovely to meet a bunch of people very relaxed about parenthood, open to discussions regarding breast, bottle, formula feeding as well as baby led weaning, puree feeding and discussions on slings too. It was a very relaxed atmosphere and one that focussed on mums' instincts to act on babies' needs rather than forced opinions. It was so lovely to meet a relaxed group of mummies, so much so that the group was still around when I left to meet Gav after being in the gardens for three hours.

I'll definately be joining them next week. The group meets in Brighton's Pavillion Gardens from 12:30pm until 3:30pm, remember to bring a rug!

If you'd like more information on Bosom Buddies or advice on starting a group in your area please contact brightonbosombuddies@gmail.com or join the group Bosom Buddies on Facebook.

I hope to see you there next week.
