WBTi UK Report 2016 – Key findings and what you can do to help
Breastfeeding matters for mums, babies and society.
The WBTi report for the UK shows key gaps and recommendations for improvement in how all of society — the UK Government, national assemblies, local commissioners, friends, family and community — needs to support mothers who want to breastfeed and the healthcare professionals who help them.
In order for this to happen, we need MPs to be aware of the report and recommendations, so that they carry the message to Parliament, and start the change so desperately needed.
MPs are there to listen to your concerns and to represent you in Parliament. Our video explains what the key messages are from the WBTi 2016 Report on the UK, and what we can all do together to make changes happen.
We need YOUR help now in this social media campaign with our video. You can;
- Take the report and its recommendations to your local MP
- Tag a friend on our Facebook video launch post, like and share the post
- Write to your MP or make an appointment to meet them
- Post a selfie on our video launch post with the hashtags #breastfeedingmatters and #bfaction to raise awareness on social media and help us make this change
If you have breastfed your own children, if you had hoped to breastfeed but didn’t get enough support, or if you are a health care professional or volunteer supporting breastfeeding women, please get involved.
