All families and their children should feel free to breastfeed in public, anytime, anywhere.
This is the vision of the ‘Free to Feed’ campaign, which aims to encourage and normalise breastfeeding in public, help those who breastfeed and/or pump to feel relaxed and increase their confidence.
This community initiative encourages local businesses and venues to sign up and pledge to be a ‘#FreeToFeedCP’ location, where breastfeeding families and their little ones are openly welcomed to visit, especially if they feel like they need a safe space when out and about. More information for businesses below.
Breastfeeding has amazing health benefits, but not all who want to breastfeed have the support they need to do so. Let some families explain why it is important to them, and why everyone should feel free to feed in public:

Breastfeeding in public survey
The most important part of ‘Free to Feed’ are families and this launch is just a starting point. Local communities and families will help to shape how the campaign grows and develops - to get started, a breastfeeding survey has been created to share thoughts and experiences on breastfeeding and/or pumping in public.
