500 signs that you’re ‘welcome’

The new Breastfeeding Welcome sign has been rolled out to participating venues across Lanarkshire.
Almost 500 premises are part of the Breastfeeding Welcome scheme which recognises venues that offer a warm welcome to nursing families.
The Breastfeeding etc. (Scotland) Act 2005 protects a child’s right to be breastfed, which means that mums can be assured they can breastfeed their child anywhere.
However, seeing the Breastfeeding Welcome sign can help mums feel so much more confident and comfortable about going into a cafe, restaurant or other venue.
Infant feeding development midwife AnneMarie Bruce says: “Displaying the pink and purple sign sends a clear message to mums – ‘You are most welcome to breastfeed your baby here and you can be confident our staff will support you.’
“It’s great to have so many venues across Lanarkshire who recognise that breastfeeding is a ‘normal’ everyday positive experience.”
