THE Western Trust says it will be celebrating World Breastfeeding Week from 1st-7th August 2017.
A spokesperson said: “This year the campaign theme focuses on public support of breastfeeding with a number of events taking place to challenge social acceptability.
“Health Development Workers from our Neighbourhood Health Improvement Project (NHIP) are hosting a number of events to include Family Coffee mornings on Friday 4th August from 10am-12pm in Brooke Park, Derry and from 10am-1pm in Roe Valley Leisure Centre, Limavady.
“The coffee mornings will have lots of fun activities for kids.
“Altnagelvin Area Hospital is also hosting a quiz for staff and patients on breastfeeding.”
