'Breast to the test for national awareness week'

Now in its 16th Year, National Breastfeeding Week runs from 10th to 16th of May.

Tweet
Posted: 13 May 2009

So if you are considering breast feeding or have any worries, it's a great time to address your questions.

Run by the Department of Health, National Breastfeeding Week is used as a key event for promoting breastfeeding, raising awareness, increasing social acceptance and promoting the support surrounding it.

The aim this year focuses on getting women to reconise their right to breastfeed at any time in any place, as well as getting family, friends and healthcare professionals to provide support for breastfeeding.


Giving it a go? Try our step-by-step guide to trouble free breastfeeding here.
