The Moot and Old East are filled with families who value community, support, and connection. It’s no surprise that this part of Pretoria also has some of the city’s warmest, most approachable breastfeeding support options. From trained lactation consultants to friendly baby clinics and free community groups, the Moot region truly understands that breastfeeding doesn’t always come naturally — and that moms sometimes just need kind, patient, hands-on help.
As a Pretoria newborn photographer, I sit with many new moms who feel overwhelmed during the first weeks. They whisper that breastfeeding is harder than they imagined, fearful that something is wrong. I always remind them that breastfeeding is a learned skill—for both mom and baby—and that getting support early can change everything.
Here are the top five breastfeeding support options serving Pretoria Moot and the Old East, each offering calm, competent, compassionate guidance.
All Things Breastfeeding has consultants and demo centres accessible to moms in the Moot, offering latch support, pain assessment, pumping help, bottle-refusal troubleshooting, and newborn feeding guidance. Their approach is patient and non-judgemental — exactly what overwhelmed new moms need.
