Scottish Breastfeeding Friendly Week 2025
Created: 09/06/2025
News/Events Category: Health and Social CareScottish Breastfeeding Week (09 - 15 June 2025) celebrates the work being carried out to support, promote and protect breastfeeding across Scotland.
Breastfeeding provides the best nutrition for babies and young children, is good for mother and baby’s health and helps to prevent disease.
The awareness raising week aims to focus on enabling new mothers/parents to consider their breastfeeding journey and how they can be supported to:
- Decide if breastfeeding is the right choice
- Breastfeed in public
- Breastfeed and return to work
- Access local and national peer support
Breastfeeding support through local groups in Fife
Local groups are open to any pregnant woman to talk about breastfeeding, ask questions, and get advice. The groups are also a support to new mothers on their breastfeeding journey. The groups are supported by infant feeding professionals and trained peer supporters.
