National Breastfeeding Awareness Week 9th-15th May 2004 (EDM1126)

National Breastfeeding Awareness Week 9th-15th May 2004

EDM number 1126 in 2003-04, proposed by Dari Taylor on 05/05/2004.

That this House supports National Breastfeeding Awareness Week and its objectives of highlighting the advantages of breastfeeding and encouraging mothers and mothers-to-be to try it; notes that the UK has one of the lowest rates in Europe and that nearly a third of women choose not to breastfeed; further notes that breastfeeding provides everything a baby needs for the first six months, may help to reduce the baby's risk of gastroenteritis, respiratory, urinary and ear infections, eczema and childhood diabetes and the mother's risk of pre-menopausal breast cancer and ovarian cancer; and calls on the Government to support this action week.

This motion has been signed by a total of 82 MPs.
