Highlight to listen
Many local businesses and venues particularly welcome breastfeeding families and have signed up to our Breastfeeding Friendly scheme to show their support. Use the map on this link to find those closest to you.
Breastfeeding is important for mums and babies, but it isn’t always easy, especially in the early days when feeding can take a bit of time and practice for both mum and baby. If you need support in those early days remember you can always ring the National Breastfeeding Helpline (0300 100 0212) or go along to your local support group if you have one nearby. Once you have both got the hang of things breastfeeding generally becomes much easier, but then comes the next big challenge, breastfeeding out and about!
The scheme is open to businesses, venues or organisations that wish to sign up to show that they actively welcome and support breastfeeding families. Businesses can choose to sign up individually or across a whole group of premises.

Supporting breastfeeding women when they return to work can make a huge difference to families and bring benefits to employers, families, mums and babies.
