Hi,
I typed up a question before with my answer but it seems to have disappeared, so here it is again
Consider a mother who wants to continue breastfeeding her baby whilst attending your child care service
Suggest 3 ways you can support the mother breastfeeding her baby whilst attending your child care service
1. Provide a comfortable and private place at the centre for the mother to either feed or express
2. Let the family know that the centre is supportive of breastfeeding
3. Ensure the centre has procedures in place for storing and handling breast milk and feeding breastfed infants.
