Eating Well When Breastfeeding  

Each year the World Alliance for Breastfeeding Action (WABA) coordinates and organises the World Breastfeeding Week from 1st-7th August and Edinburgh Community Food are pleased to be taking part. This year the focus is on making a difference for working parents. Workplace challenges remain the most common reason for women to never breastfeed or stop breastfeeding earlier than recommended. Protecting, promoting and supporting breastfeeding addresses inequalities in health and is all our responsibility, so let's make breastfeeding and work, work!  We need workplaces policies that support breastfeeding such as access to paid parental leave which improves access to breastfeeding services both inside and outside of the workplace.

Edinburgh Community Food are supporting breastfeeding women with our 'Eating Well when Breastfeeding' leaflet which is available in Community Cafes around the city and at all our community sessions.
