A YOUNG mum who is appearing in a huge poster campaign across Bolton will be the star of this year's National Breastfeeding Week.
Abbi Rutter, of Arnside Grove, Breightmet, will be making an appearance outside the Bolton Town Hall on Tuesday to celebrate National Breastfeeding Week and hopes encourage other mums to take part.
The 20-year-old, along with her son, Zac, is one of the faces of the Be A Star campaign, which is run by Little Angels, promoting breastfeeding across Lancashire.
The campaign is believed to have reached more than half-a-million people.
Michelle Atkin, who is leading the campaign, said: "Be A Star aims to reach young mothers and to make breastfeeding fashionable."
At the Bolton event, Abbi will be on hand to discuss her experiences and talk through any concerns other young mothers may have.
She will be at the town hall at 11am.
