Breastfeeding gives your baby all the nutrients they need to grow for the first 6 months of life. There are health benefits for you and your baby for continued breastfeeding for two years and beyond. It is also the cheapest, most convenient , and safest way to feed your baby.

Breastfeeding while out and about may be challenging for some. Being prepared, knowing your rights, and trying different clothes or styles of bras can make breastfeeding in public easier.

Our videos and flyers linked below give practical tips and information on breastfeeding in public, for mums and community members.
