Holly’s Coffee Officially Becomes Breastfeeding-Friendly Venue

Breastfeeding is a natural and essential aspect of motherhood, providing numerous health benefits to both the infant and the mother.

In recent years, there has been a growing recognition of the importance of creating breastfeeding-friendly environments in public spaces, including restaurants and cafes.

Holly’s Coffee Shop in Boorowa has received the official stamp of approval from the Australian Breastfeeding Association as a breastfeeding-friendly and family-friendly venue.

The development has come with much praise from Boorowa locals, with one mum saying it was nice to feel seen and heard.

“I love to know that I will be safe to breastfeed without judgement,” the mum said.

“It’s especially going to be a positive experience for new mums who may be feeling insecure or anxious about breastfeeding in Boorowa.”

Despite the recognised benefits of breastfeeding, many mothers continue to face challenges when it comes to nursing their infants in public spaces.

Social stigmas, lack of support, and limited access to breastfeeding-friendly environments can create barriers for mothers who wish to breastfeed outside the comfort of their homes.

As a result, many mothers may feel uncomfortable or even unwelcome when nursing their infants in public, leading to a negative impact on their social lives.

Having breastfeeding-friendly restaurants and cafes in Boorowa can yield numerous benefits for mothers, infants and the community as a whole.

Firstly, it provides mothers with a welcoming and comfortable space to breastfeed, reducing the stress and anxiety associated with nursing in public.

Additionally, breastfeeding-friendly establishments send a positive message to the community, promoting inclusivity and support for breastfeeding mothers.

This can help dispel social stigmas and empower mothers to breastfeed with confidence, ultimately contributing to a more breastfeeding-friendly culture in Australia.
