Breastfeeding
Here in Greater Shepparton we are extremely fortunate to have a group of health professionals and community members who share a passion and commitment to promote and support breastfeeding in our local community. The Greater Shepparton Best Start Breastfeeding Workgroup was formed in 2004 and has been successful in establishing a range of strategies aimed at improving breastfeeding facilities and services, professional knowledge, and community awareness in relation to the importance and benefits of breastfeeding.
