CELEBRITY mother Natasha Hamilton is urging businesses across Liverpool to help make breastfeeding more accessible by signing up to the city’s Breastfeeding Welcome Scheme.
The initiative, which has been developed by Liverpool Primary Care Trust (PCT) and Liverpool City Council, asks shops, cafes and restaurants to ensure that breastfeeding is accepted in all public areas, and breastfeeding mothers are not asked to stop or leave. Businesses who sign up to the scheme are given a sticker to display in their window.
Mother-of-three Natasha, whose little boy Alfie was born in June, said: “As a mum who has breastfed, I know how intimidating and self-conscious it can be to breastfeed in public places, especially if you’re doing it for the first time.”
BUSINESSES who would like information about the scheme should call 0151 296 7000.For more log on to www.amazingbreastmilk.nhs.uk
