Breastfeeding And Babies In Care

EDM number 125 in 2007-08, proposed by John Hemming on 07/11/2007.
Categorised under the topics of Children's social services, Food and Health services.

That this House believes that mothers should be encouraged to breastfeed as this is in the interests of the long-term health of babies; recognises that for newborn babies this means breastfeeding on demand; further believes that newborn babies in care should also be breastfed on demand where this does not result in any risk to the baby; and calls for the Government to introduce guidelines to ensure that facilities are provided to ensure that newborn babies can be breastfed on demand.

This motion has been signed by a total of 23 MPs.
