Our vision is to create a supportive environment in Walsall that protects, promotes and supports breastfeeding. It will enable all parents to optimise the nutrition of babies and infants as they make their infant feeding choices and therefore develop healthy children and loving parent-infant relationships. We want you to help mothers feel welcome and supported, while being aware that different mothers may also need more private spaces for expression of breast milk.
We need to work together as a community, so women feel comfortable and able to breastfeed wherever they choose.
It will also help you;
To understand the impacts on the physical and emotional health of mothers and babies and health outcomes
UNICEF UK Baby Friendly Initiative promotes, protects and supports breastfeeding and supports all babies to develop close and loving relationships with their caregivers
Explore how services welcomes breastfeeding (Walsall Welcomes Breastfeeding)
To understand the negative impact of advertising of commercial milk formula and other breastmilk substitutes
To understand the boundaries of your role in relation to infant feeding and demonstrate knowledge of local support available.
