## About this tender

### The

benefits and importance of breastfeeding has been recognised locally

and improving the rates of breastfeeding is an identified priority

for St Helens. Rates of breastfeeding are affected by socioeconomic

factors, cultural norms and support. For many women, breastfeeding

is unfamiliar to them. They were not breastfed and do not know

anyone who has breastfed their child. Engagement with local women

has shown that although some are prepared to breastfeed, support

from partners, grandparents and others is often absent and they are

actively discouraged from continuing to breastfeed. Changing this

culture and practice is a major challenge and requires both short

term and long term action. The full specification is detailed in
