Campaigns
Breast Buddies is involved in promoting breastfeeding and in campaigning
for greater acceptance of breastfeeding in public.
- For International Breastfeeding Awareness Week (1st - 7th August
2008) we are asking women across the world to tell us about their
experiences of breastfeeding in different countries. To share your
story please fill in the
form.
- We are concerned that the Government appears to have
back-tracked over the proposals to ensure that mothers breastfeeding
babies can do so without fear of being asked to stop. Initially the
proposals were for babies up to 12 months but this appears to have
changed to six months. We support the petition to make breastfeeding
in public legally acceptable for all babies and children. To sign
the petition click

Proposed campaigns
- Young parents and breastfeeding- we hope to work with a young
parents group in Leeds to produce material to promote breastfeeding
amongst young parents. If you are a young parent (16-25 years old)
and would like to be involved in the project please contact Kathryn
at
director@breastbuddies.org
- Antenatal workshops about breastfeeding- We hope to start
running monthly breastfeeding workshops for pregnant ladies and
their families from September 2008. If you would like more
information about these please contact Emma at
workshops@breastbuddies.org
More campaigns will be unveiled soon. If you/ your business would like to be
involved please contact Kathryn on 0113 260 4187 or at
director@breastbuddies.org
