Breastfeeding friendly premises in Hull
One of the many benefits of breastfeeding is that it is very convenient and can be done any place and anytime.
Hull City Council produces a list of breastfeeding friendly premises in Hull, which can be found below.
The aim of the breastfeeding friendly premises is to provide practical information for breastfeeding mothers as to where you can feel welcome and at ease breastfeeding your baby while out and about. All of these premises welcome breastfeeding mothers and some provide additional facilities such as baby changing.
