Welcoming the Successful Pilot of the Breastfeeding Friendly Early Years Scheme in Tayside
The motion
That the Parliament recognises the excellent work of the Breastfeeding Friendly Early Years Scheme in NHS Tayside; understands that the scheme was created to support nurseries and early years settings to promote a breastfeeding-friendly environment and to support families and colleagues who breastfeed; believes that the scheme encourages nurseries and early years settings to adopt a breastfeeding and returning to work policy, to assure pregnant and breastfeeding employees that, should they wish to, they will be supported to continue breastfeeding on return to work; welcomes that the scheme promotes awareness of local services where breastfeeding families can access support and information; understands that, after a successful pilot in Tayside, the scheme is being rolled out across Scotland, and wishes all involved in Breastfeeding Friendly Early Years Scheme continued success as they support families across Scotland.
