Forming a group made the difference between feeling anxious about my decisions and feeling confident and joyful about the path I wanted to follow for my child.

I met our API group leader sitting on a bench in town, where I was breastfeeding my daughter. Her daughter was in a sling. We swapped stories effortlessly and I knew this was a group worth being part of. Even when you can't get to meetings, having email contact and knowing its all going on in your vicinity and not miles away, gives me a real feeling of reassurance.
