Autistic breastfeeding, chestfeeding and bodyfeeding parents
This group is for autistic parents to support one another with the added support of trained peer supporters also in the group.
It is also to find out what the support needs are for autistic breast, chest, and bodyfeeding parents to explore how and why current mainstream support may not suit autistic people.
We also welcome those who feed their baby by expressing milk too
