Wishing you and your circle the most wonderful Holiday Period

Thank you so much for your support in 2021. We have had a very busy year! A few highlighted moments have been In April we hired our very first employee, Catherine Muldoon, as Coordinator. You can meet the whole team here. In May we launched our first ever eBook in collaboration with Code Monitoring NI and BFLGUK. You can access the Baby Grow guide to the WHO Code here. In June we celebrated Volunteer Week and launched our call out for Volunteers for Breastival 2021. There's no need to wait until we do our call outs- if you are interested in volunteering in 2022 contact us via social media or via he...@breastival.co.uk June was a busy month with our very first Baby Grow Book Club Conversation with session. We had the fantastic Carol Smyth on to talk about her book "Why Infant Reflux Matters" and you can watch it back here, listen in on the Breastival Podcast or catch it on Pinter and Martin Radio. On the 1st of August we kicked off Breastival 2021 with an incredible opening speech from Breastfeeding Advocate and First Lady of Ireland Sabina Higgins. If you missed it you can watch it again here, and in fact if you missed any of the session during Breastival, you can watch any of the recorded sessions on our YouTube Page.
