Welcome to
a community project that was set up with two aspects:
​
1) to provide peer supporter training to parents passionate about helping others to breastfeed so that they might be able to work in their local community to provide breastfeeding support
2) to provide breastfeeding peer support services to parents in the local communities, including both one to one and group support
Milk Mentors is
We were started by
J'Nel Metherell, a local International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), to build a network of peer supporters to help parents in our local area who wish to breastfeed. The group is maintained collaboratively by our peer supporters and is run and directed by those within the group who have the ideas and passion to make Milk Mentors what it is, while continuing to uphold the mission and ethos of this amazing community project.
We have a frequently asked questions section, as well as a list of peer supporters that you can contact for support. Learn More
