Campaign bid to encourage breastfeed­ing

- BY TREVOR QUINN

Catherine Byrne THE secrets behind a campaign which led to Limerick becoming Ireland’s “breastfeed­ingfriendl­y” capital are being shared across the country.

The initiative is run by the local council and supported by Healthy Ireland aims to help break the taboo.

It encourages businesses, organisati­ons and communitie­s to become more open to breastfeed­ing in public.

Catherine Byrne TD said: “Investing in children’s early years to give them the best start in life will benefit them for the rest of their lives.

“Creating an environmen­t that is welcoming to mothers who breastfeed is a really positive initiative and should be welcomed.”
