Mothers' Charter

Mothers' Charter

WHEN VISITING A BABY CAFÉ YOU CAN EXPECT…

A relaxed, informal, safe, child-friendly, non-medical environment.
For it to be a place where your breastfeeding relationship, at whatever stage, is valued, respected and protected.
To meet other breastfeeding moms.
To receive up-to-date information about breastfeeding, from staff knowledgeable and skilled in helping women breastfeed.
To be helped in a way that equips you to continue breastfeeding when you leave the Baby Café. This usually means staff will work with a ‘hands off’ approach, or work over your hands if necessary.
That all information, suggestions, books, leaflets, videos, demonstration aids, posters available will:
- Be balanced and informative.
- Help you in making informed decisions.
- Support and protect breastfeeding and the breastfeeding relationship.
To be supported in the decisions you make.
That staff will maintain records and liaise in a confidential manner with other local health professionals and the head office as appropriate.
To be responsible for your children at all times.
For your feedback about the service to be welcomed and taken seriously.
