As part of National Breastfeeding Awareness Week 2008 (11-17 May 2008) shops, supermarkets and shopping centres across the country supported the week by being Breastfeeding Friendly.
Breastfeeding Friendly Places support breastfeeding mothers by adhering to criteria such as providing comfortable seating, access to drinking water where possible and showing employee commitment to supporting breastfeeding. It is a real chance for retailers to offer their customers something extra and support them in giving their baby the best start in life.
Breastfeeding Friendly Places show a window sticker to demonstrate their support. A list of Breastfeeding Friendly Places is available below.
If you are health professional working with Breastfeeding Friendly Places in your local area you can download a template press release below.
