Research reporting that mothers are dissatisfied with support for breastfeeding in the community indicates the need for a consistent approach to breastfeeding support groups. The study described in this article allows mothers’ voices to be heard by examining their experiences of breastfeeding support groups led by public health nurses (PHNs) in North Dublin, Ireland. A survey with open and closed questions was sent to 177 mothers, 96 of whom responded. Emerging themes included: weighing babies at group meetings, PHNs as group facilitators, and self-efficacy. The results show that mothers value support from PHNs in the early stages of breastfeeding but prefer peer support as breastfeeding progresses. Social support was rated highly. The timing of the group, atmosphere and the availability of refreshments were important. A more formal, structured approach to support groups and the introduction of practice guidelines are needed to ensure mothers receive a good, consistent experience in the community.
