Muslim Village

We started our Muslim Village project to provide culturally-aligned support to Muslim families from pregnancy to the first years of life. Muslim Village promotes conscious motherhood and attachment parenting, breastfeeding and embracing one’s culture whilst offering a range of free services.

We are made up of Muslim mothers and volunteers in the UK, who have lived experience of navigating maternity and postnatal care in the UK that isn’t always inclusive of our faith & cultural identity. We are trained volunteers who understand your needs and help you get through pregnancy, postnatal, breastfeeding and early parenting, whilst holding on to your culture and faith.

We currently have 3 groups running, as well as a WhatsApp community group and an Instagram page. We also offer other free support including access to our comprehensive antenatal course, Bump To Baby.

For the third time, we will be running monthly, educational and support sessions for pregnant Muslim women in Nottingham.

Starting from March 2025, these will be run every month on a Wednesday between 12.30 – 2pm by trained professionals:

19th March- Birth planning & choices

23rd April – Postnatal recovery

21st May – Pain management

18th June – Preparing to breastfeed

16th July – Emotional wellbeing

They’ll be held at Hyson Green Family Hub at Mary Potter Health Centre and you can book your place by clicking on the link below. Any questions, please get in touch through the contact page here.

Although these sessions are free, we rely heavily on funding and volunteers, so please use the option to donate if you can. Or you can donate by clicking here

FINALLY A space for Muslim mums and children in Nottingham to connect in a culturally safe space to discuss and get guidance on:

👉 Breastfeeding & preparing to breastfeed

Or just come and have a drink, some snacks and a chat, Insha Allah.

Are you a mum or mum-to-be?

Do you want a safe space to talk to other sisters who are also pregnant, breastfeeding or going through their motherhood journey?

If so our Milky Mornings is the place for you!

We are a non-judgemental and welcoming space for sisters looking for support in motherhood and early parenting advice!

We also offer specific guidance for mums who are planning on breastfeeding or having breastfeeding challenges by our trained peer supporters.

Join us for all things motherhood and more every Thursday 11am – 12pm online!

We’re also always looking for volunteers, so if you have at least 2 hours to spare a month to support Muslim families, please get in touch here!
