CELEBRITY mum Nell McAndrew joined these Doncaster mothers to tell them: "Breastfeeding is best."
She was invited to meet seven borough mums who have trained to be volunteer breastfeeding supporters, and are trying to encourage more mums to breastfeed in their home town.
She presented them with certificates to mark the end of their courses.
Nell told them how she breastfed her own son, Devon, who is now aged two, because she thought it was best for him.
Leeds-born Nell made her name on TV shows The Big Breakfast and I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here.
Doncaster has some of the lowest breastfeeding rates in the country - around 50 per cent, compared with over 75 per cent nationally.
Health visitor Lizzie Ette, who invited the model to the event at Debenhams, in the Frenchgate Centre, said: "Nell is a real role model for women and passionate about the value of breastfeeding, so her support is really appreciated."
