Breastfeeding And Babies In Care

EDM number 673 in 2006-07, proposed by John Hemming on 18/01/2007.

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 24 MPs.
