The scheme aims to make it easier for breastfeeding mums when out and about in Doncaster and the thing that I like about it, is the fact that employees at some participating venues (of which there are loads) have received training on how to create a welcoming atmosphere and make breastfeeding mums more comfortable. This can be something simple like taking them a glass of water or going to see if they need anything. I think this is great…we all know the cry of a hungry baby and having raced to a suitable place, by the time you’ve sat down, fed the baby, they then need a nappy change or something and you’re back up and out before having had a drink or anything! A simple gesture such as offering to bring over a drink (or in my case as a mum with two little ones, maybe bringing something for the toddler or locating some toys to entertain them) would have meant the world to me. We Support our Mums Champions can be identified as they will be wearing the We Support our Mums Champion badge.
You can find all participating venues here and this list is expanding and if you have a business and would like to sign up for the scheme, click here.
