Thanks Shaughn and everyone

I don't have a list of specific questions at present, I am still at the
stage of gathering information and ideas, which is why I thought I would ask
here first.

I really just wanted some ideas to get me started.  As I mentioned, the
building that we are in is quite old so we need to start by replacing the
flooring, window coverings and lighting throughout, as well as new
furnishings.  

We aim to make the premises multi-functional so that we can continue to hold
our Pre-natal breastfeeding classes, mothers group meetings, and education
evenings for health professionals and also offer a drop in centre type
arrangement and one-on-one consultations.

I am very much a visual person so photos would be really useful at this
stage

I really appreciate everyone's help!  It is not often that you receive
funding for this type of venture, so I am anxious to get it right from the
start.

Kind regards

Congratulations on receiving the funding for a breastfeeding centre!

I work at the Breastfeeding Centre at King Edward Memorial Hospital here in
Perth so if you want to email me any specific questions I will do my best to
answer them. We see approx 1000 women a year.

Hi Wise Women

I have recently received funding to set up a breastfeeding centre where I
work.  The current premises are about 30 years old with a large meeting area
and 2 consulting rooms at the back.

I would appreciate any information that you would like to give on what types
of equipment you have found useful in your workplaces - even seating,
flooring, lighting etc.

If anyone has any photos of a breastfeeding centre I would love to be sent a
copy ([log in to unmask]) 

Thanks so much for your help.  We are really excited about this venture and
hope that it will make a difference to the mothers in our community

Kind regards

Liz
