Published Date: 09 February 2010
A NEW campaign has been launched asking local businesses to become more breastfeeding friendly.
After a recent study which showed the UK's breastfeeding rates as one of the worst in Europe, NHS North Lancashire is working together with NHS Blackpool to overcome the taboo around breastfeeding in public places.

Cafes, cinemas, restaurants, spo
rts centres, theatres and all sorts of business and community venues which may be visited by breastfed babies and their families, are being asked to sign up to the campaign.

Volunteers will be visiting venues across North Lancashire in the coming weeks encouraging them to become more baby friendly and to support breastfeeding on their premises.

Once businesses have agreed they will be added to the published list, given a certificate and provided with a sticker to put in their window identifying that breastfeeding is welcome on the premises.

A list of all baby friendly premises will be provided to women who have a baby.

Lists will be available in local children centres and via health professionals as well as online at www.nwnwbabyfriendly.org.uk.

For more information and to find out how to sign up to the campaign please visit www.nwnwbabyfriendly.org.uk

There's two types of breast feeding, in your face and discreet. I have nothing against the latter; I breastfed my son in public but didn't poke anyones eye out or put them off their lunch!

Apologies for what may seem like an advertisement but I thought you might like to know about an idea that I developed as a result of having a serious spinal operation. It is making a real difference to people around the world so I’m trying to tell as many places as possible where it may help and it is making a very real difference to c-section Mums.


The Hydrant - Making Maternity & Breastfeeding Easier

Staying properly hydrated during childbirth, in recovery and whilst feeding is of critical importance. However, one of the most frustrating things is being unable to reach drinks without calling for help.

The Hydrant hands free drinking system is proving to be invaluable for keeping new Mums properly hydrated by making it easy to get a drink without having to call for help because you can’t reach a cup:

? During birth
? Afterwards in recovery where soreness makes it uncomfortable or difficult to move for a while, and reaching for jugs and cups is very hard to do
? Brilliant at home whilst breastfeeding
? When you no longer need a hands-free system simply change the tops and you have a sports drinking bottle that will clip to almost anything and last for years to come
It is particularly useful for those who have had a Caesarean Section where something as simple as lifting a cup is hugely difficult for a couple of days - The Hydrant is an absolute ‘must have’ item for the benefits it brings.
