Breastfeeding Support Groups Introduced In Scarborough

Support groups have been launched in Scarborough to help increase the amount of women who are breastfeeding. 

That's from Head of Public Health for North Yorkshire Council, Emma Lonsdale, who says that the groups are being put in place to offer support to women in the area. 

The breastfeeding friendly venue scheme has been put in place to help combat the amount of women who breastfeed in a public place. 

Here's a list of local breastfeeding friendly venue's:

  • Newby and Scalby Library 
  • Scarborough Library 
  • Eastfield Library 
  • Whitby Library 

Doctor Gill Kelly is a public health consultant at North Yorkshire Council and she says that there are 49 venues that have signed up to the scheme .
