Breast initiative ‘Well received

Wishaw and Motherwell MP Marion Fellows has welcomed the move of Motherwell Football Club to become a breastfeeding friendly football ground.

Motherwell Football Club recently declared Fir Park as a breastfeeding friendly football ground, following a nationwide campaign by the SNP MP Alison Thewliss.

Almost 70 per cent of football clubs in Scotland have now signed up to the campaign for breastfeeding friendly stadiums.

Marion, who is also a member of the MFC fan ownership group The Well Society, said: “It’s very encouraging that so many folk are uniting to make Scottish football a breastfeeding friendly environment.

“Football crowds have changed a lot over the years and stadiums are becoming a much more family friendly environment.

“By making a positive declaration that stadiums are breastfeeding friendly, this will go some way to letting people know that breastfeeding is normal and no-one should feel excluded from coming along to the football.”
