A chair designed for breastfeeding Mums and a foldaway baby change table were donated to the pharmacy by Centacare Wilcannia-Forbes and Tiny Tots Dubbo, through the Communities for Children Initiative.

Narromine pharmacy pharmacist Sally Sheehan said they have always encouraged breast-feeding.

“We’re happy to now be able to provide a place for mums to breastfeed their babies in a nice peaceful environment,” she said.

“If they happen to be down the street and need to breastfeed mums have now got somewhere to do that.”

Project manager for Communities for Children Riki Price said the Narromine pharmacy do a great job of looking after families with young children.

“They already have a play station to keep the littlies busy,” she said.

“I encourage other Narromine businesses to think about young families when setting up their space, just like the pharmacy has done. “It makes a big difference to parents.

“The parents just need to ask and the friendly staff will take them to the change table.”

Communities for Children is a community owned initiative funded by the Australian government under the Stronger Families and Communities Strategy.

The initiative delivers local activities that focus on supporting the health and development needs of young children and support to parents.

Other pharmacies in Dubbo and Wellington have also taken on the challenge.

Ms Price would like to thank Simon Keough at Tiny Tots, Tony Lawler from the Lawler Family Pharmacies Narromine and Dubbo, Greg Shearing and Mark Rugendyke at the Priceline Pharmacy Dubbo and Roger Keirle from Chemart Wellington.
