This isn't to provoke a bun fight. I'm a huge supporter of parents making their own decisions when it comes to feeding (breast, formula or mixed) and have been a bf peer supporter for a number of years, helping online and in real life. I have supported friends, acquaintances and strangers with their own bf journey, be that 1 week or 2 years. I was previously under a different nickname but the security breach meant I changed my name completely - you normally found me on the feeding / weaning boards
The reason for this thread is to let you know of a petition I'd like you to read. It's aim is to change the wording / guidance provided by the NHS, to mirror that of the WHO.
In my opinion, this will support those that breastfeed their babies longer than the current "norm" and feel supported by government health advice when they chose to feed beyond 6 months.
Please read here for more information and decide if you support the petition to change the NHS guideline wording.
