Breastfeeding Welcome Scheme
On Monday 15th May 2006, the First Minister, Rhodri Morgan AM, launched a new Breastfeeding Welcome Scheme in Wales.
The Scheme is open to local businesses that provide food or drink, to hairdressers, shops, libraries and museums, community centres and health centres, in fact anywhere open to the general public. Several small local schemes have been set up in Wales and the Breastfeeding Welcome Scheme will bring them together.
Once local businesses have agreed to the conditions of the Scheme, they can display the eye-catching sticker, and demonstrate to mothers that they are valued and that they will find any easy, comfortable welcome. For a new breastfeeding mum it can be daunting to venture away from home into town, especially if she doesn't know where to go to feed the baby.
