Make Breastfeeding awareness & social attitudes part of the National Curriculum

Petition Details

The UK has the lowest breast feeding rate in the world, with only 17% successfully breastfeeding for up to 3 months, falling to around 1% after 6 months.
We want future Mothers to feel there is no social stigma for either breast or bottle feeding, & that they have a choice.
