Breastfeeding counsellor Katy Lynn chats to Kerry about the emotive topic of breastfeeding. They talk about some of the amazing qualities of breastmilk, the joys of breastfeeding and discuss awareness around the difficulties experienced when starting to breastfeed. They key message here is the lack of support for mums who are starting to breastfeed, that can often lead them to stop sooner than planned.
We've included some signposting information below. It is advised that the first port of call here in Northern Ireland would be a Community Midwife. Health Visitors should be able to supply information of local support groups, and all women can access the Infant Feeding Lead in each trust area too.
