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 .

This is the Coast is committed to providing a daily local news service for the Yorkshire Coast. We are a small locally owned and operated business which employs professional journalists and reporters. We do not receive any public funding or grants and we are entirely funded by our local commercial operations. We enjoy fabulous support from local businesses who work with us on their advertising and marketing campaigns, but the cost of providing high quality, well researched, fact checked local news coverage is significant.

If you appreciate what This is the Coast does, and would like to help support our journalism, please consider supporting us on a monthly basis today.

A small contribution from all our readers would really help support independent journalism for the Yorkshire Coast.
