Can't See a Group in Your Area?

Can't see your area listed? We are always looking for volunteers to help run our current groups and set up new groups in new area or on different days. Get in touch with Lorrayne sotonnewmums@nct.org.uk to see if there are other local parents waiting for a group to be set up, maybe you'd like to organise something to meet local parents? We can support you in doing this, it's easy and really rewarding!

Bumps in the Pub

Don't know anyone else that's pregnant? Come along to our Bumps in the Pub social to meet other mums-to-be and find out what your local NCT branch can offer you. See Eventsfor more info.

New Mums Meet-up

See if you can get yourself out of the house for a monthly social get-together with other new mums at John Lewis. Just turn up any time between 10.30am and 12.30pm! See Events for more info.

Breast Buddies

If you are breastfeeding, support from other breastfeeding mothers can be invaluable.  Southampton NCT runs a Breast Buddies session once a month at Ikea in Southampton city centre. 

This provides a mum-to-mum support group for all breastfeeding mums. If you are new to breastfeeding, come along & get some tips from experienced mums. If you are already breastfeeding, come along for a drink & a natter with like-minded mums. For more information, contact sotonbreastfeedingsocial@nct.org.uk. See Events for more info.
