A Breastfeeding Friendly Premises give out an encouraging and supportive message to reassure mothers that they need not feel anxious or embarrassed about breastfeeding their baby. Breastfeeding Friendly Premises help to reduce the potential barriers to breastfeeding by advocating a woman’s right to breastfeed whenever and wherever she chooses.
