breastfeeding = breast feeding, breastfed, suckling, nursing = The UK's NHS recommends exclusive breastfeeding until six months, for the benefit of the child and the mother:
UNICEF estimates that 1.5 million babies worldwide die each year because they are not breastfed. In England and Wales 29% of mothers do not breastfeed. Yet we know that breast is best for the health of mother and baby.
Read how we breastfed Eloise, and a report on the BBC about breastfeeding newborns lying down.

In the UK, 90% of women who stop breastfeeding before their baby is six weeks old would have liked to breastfeed for longer.
If you think that breastfeeding mums should get better help and support then you may wish to visit breastfeeding manifesto.
