Let’s talk about breastfeeding!

In todays episode we are joined by our very own mumfluencer Chaneen Saliee who shares her experiences with us about how she went from knowing nothing about breastfeeding to becoming an advocate. We talk about the benefits of breastfeeding, stigmas, challenges and so much more. Sadly the rates of breastfeeding are declining causing tremendous health issues for mother and baby. According to the ONS only 24% of women exclusively breastfeed at 6 weeks in the UK, this does not include the statistics for black mothers which are proven to be higher.  It is clear that society, the government, businesses/employers and healthcare professionals need to play their part in supporting mothers to breastfeed their babies.
