National Breastfeeding Week

 

 

 

Breastfeeding Trafford CentreIn the news....The Big Feed at The Trafford Centre

On 21st June over one hundred mums showed us all how breastfeeding when out and about can be done– and in style at The Trafford Centre! Karen, our Branch Manager helped recruit local mums from Tameside and Glossop to go along to the breastfeeding flashmob.

 

The event received media attention in the local and national press,

in The Daily Mail, The Mirror, The Sun and on Granada News and on the news in America and India!

 Well done to everyone involved!
