Breast Feeding Statement
Breastfeeding Statement
- We believe that breastfeeding is the healthiest way for a woman to feed her baby and recognise the important health benefits known to exist for both mother and child.
- We will not discriminate against any woman with regard to her chosen method of feeding and will support her when she has made that choice to feed on our premises.
- Breastfeeding is permitted and welcomed in all public areas of Everybody Health & Leisure premises, except where there are any overriding health and safety considerations.
- In addition, all Everybody facilities will, where practicable, identify a private room, (office or training room) and have that made available to breastfeeding mothers if convenient.
- Each pool will have a “designated” chair on hand ready for a breastfeeding mother in the pool if their infant requires an impromptu feed whilst in the water along with an additional baby towel supplied upon request.
