In a nutshell: A project in Kilmarnock has been initiated to help support breastfeeding in the area.  Local businesses have been sent packs to tell them about the law in regard to breastfeeding and how they can support breastfeeding women, with display stickers informing breastfeeding mothers that they are welcome.  Local health workers are also seeking to encourage more younger mothers to attend classes on how to feed babies and other aspects of care by using a “youth-friendly” approach.
