More than 200 events and thousands of families will be joining the National Breastfeeding Campaign this Wednesday 1 May for the fourth year of Medela’s Big Breastfeeding Cafe.
The nationwide initiative, led by breastfeeding brand Medela, will connect, inspire and support breastfeeding families via a network of more than 200 mini events taking place on the same day across the UK.
This year, alongside hundreds of independently-hosted events, the national chain Coffee#1, will also be holding events in each of its 91 branches.
The annual event has garnered a host of celebrity support from high profile mums including Giovanna Fletcher, Helen Skelton, Georgia Jones. Izzy Judd, Jessica Cunningham, Zoe Hardman and many more.
“The age-old phrase of ‘mum knows best’ rings true,” says Sioned Hilton, Medela UK’s education manager. “We are finding time and time again that, personal advice from mums who have breastfed themselves, is invaluable.”
She continued: “We know that breastfeeding can be challenging, but we also know that a problem shared, is often a problem halved. Ensuring that all breastfeeding mums have a reassuring and supportive network is vital.”
See Medela’s UK Facebook page for more information about which cafés are taking part.
