The Irish name Cuidiú means care and support for all parents with bumps or babes, tots or teens. We are a parent-to-parent support group run by volunteer parents.

Cuidiúʼs motto is education and support for parenthood. Our aim is to provide information to parents which allows them to make informed choices about pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding and to provide a supportive background to empower parents to act upon their decisions.

We help thousands of Mums and Dads each year through pregnancy, birth and early days of parenthood. We offer antenatal and postnatal courses, local support and reliable information to help all parents.

The International Breastfeeding Centre is here to support, encourage and provide help to mothers who would otherwise be disappointed and quit breastfeeding. To help with breastfeeding, Dr. Jack Newman, MD, FRCPC, IBCLC, personally provides a free email answering service to women and health professionals, maintains this website as a source of reliable breastfeeding information, creates videos for women to learn about breastfeeding.

This website is designed to provide information and support for mothers and healthcare professionals struggling to balance the benefits of breastfeeding with the perceived risk of exposing the baby to medication through his/her mother’s breast-milk.
