National Breastfeeding Week

National Breastfeeding Week 2011 takes place from the 1st to the 7th October. Events will take place around the country to mark National Breastfeeding Week and to highlight the importance of breastfeeding for the health of our children and mothers.

The theme this year is ‘Breastfeeding Friendly’, providing opportunities to portray breastfeeding when out and about as a normal, natural part of daily life. Breastfeeding is the perfectly natural way to feed our children and also fits in with the demands of modern life.
