It seems like so many HVs are still advising mothers not to BF for no good reason.
Can we have a MN campaign to re-educate them? Or at least a standard letter of complaint that mothers can send to the NHS when their HV tries to encourage them not to feed, against the overwhelming evidence that it's a good thing to do, for mother and child. The WHO advises feeding until 2. No HV should advise a mother who is happily feeding her DC to stop before then, if ever!
Why are they still doing this? It makes me !
