The European breastfeeding forum Mum Mood is returning to Nice for its third edition on Saturday 6th December. The event features an expanded line-up of speakers, roundtables, music, and hands-on activities.
Held in French at the AC Hotel Marriott in Nice and open to both healthcare professionals and the public, Mum Mood 2025 is the only event of its kind in Europe to unite science and support around the subject of breastfeeding. The event is free to attend and aims to empower mothers and families with expert-led information, medical insight, and community connection.
“Breastfeeding is a right and a choice,” says Céline Bourganeuf, the founder and driving force behind the initiative. A neonatal nurse and certified lactation consultant, Bourganeuf launched Mum Mood in 2022 to bring a medical, societal, and philosophical lens to what she sees as a crucial — and often misunderstood — issue of public health.
Conferences, roundtables and creative exploration
This year’s forum features a packed programme beginning with a morning conference by Dr. Luka Velemir on birth and physiology, followed by a session led by Bourganeuf herself on informed breastfeeding choices. Later, guests can explore two roundtable discussions, one focusing on the mechanics of successful breastfeeding, and another on navigating the postpartum experience.
Throughout the day, a curated art exhibition with Disting’Art will run alongside a selection of artisan stands, while the Behia Jazz Trio will provide a musical interlude to balance the scientific and emotional tone of the event.
A grassroots movement for informed choice
Mum Mood is powered by a volunteer-led collective of mothers, many of whom were former patients of Bourganeuf. Together, they have developed the “P.A.S.S. Allaitement” model — Protect, Accompany, Sensitise, Support — as the foundation of their mission to provide reliable, accessible breastfeeding education across all stages of motherhood.
This year’s edition also seeks to address wider societal stigmas — like the recent controversy over a mother being asked not to breastfeed during a family activity at the Louis Vuitton Foundation — and to reaffirm breastfeeding as both a public health issue and a personal right.
