Breastfeeding Support Groups
Breastfeeding rates in Lanarkshire are low with only 30% of Lanarkshire babies being breastfed.
Because of this, many local women, including grannies and aunts, may never have had an opportunity to watch a baby being breastfed and to an extent the skills for breastfeeding have been lost through the generations.
To "fill the gap" Lanarkshire Health Board set up mother-to-mother Breastfeeding Support Groups across Lanarkshire. Browse the left hand links to find your nearest group.
