"Dorset Babies Find Any Breastfeeding Welcome!"
Dorset is a wonderful place for young families and we want to support those that live here and visit to enjoy the place.
Breastfeeding is very important for the health of mums and babies and so we want to support you in this role in any way we can.
We hope the information here is useful but if you have any further queries please feel free to contact:
Elizabeth Carter 01305 251150 and ask them to page me and I will call you back.
The Dorset Breastfeeding Policy can be found here (Mother Guide)
Breastfeeding Welcome Partnership in Dorset
Most premises in Dorset will support breastfeeding but the ones signed up to the scheme will display this logo on their window or door to make you extra welcome.
