To increase private business involvement, the Breastfeeding Mother Friendly Employer Project was launched one year ago. This year's ceremony was held at Hanna Andersson, a children's clothing catalog and retailer company, in honor of its proactive support for both breastfeeding employees and customers, including a special place for mothers to nurse. We are proud that we offer employees and customers comfortable environments that allow them to breastfeed at all our locations. The women who work and shop with us know we support their efforts to raise healthy children. Being known as a company that supports breast-feeding goes along with the general philosophy at Hanna Andersson.
Research shows that breastfeeding has health benefits for both mother and child.
