The event was one of a series held during June to promote breastfeeding and provide information and support for new and expectant parents.

Support groups around the borough celebrated with parties and an information stand was taken to shopping centres and several large events.

The charity has also been raising money for two hospital-grade breast pumps, which will be loaned to new mums struggling to breastfeed.
