Apparently they are running a story about the fact that the NE of England has the lowest rates of breastfeeding and asked me to provide some information and statistics
I talked about the health benefits of breastfeeding, first of all stressing that bottle feeders should not feel guilty as they are doing the best for their baby, but urging pg mums to find more info and try it once!
I also plugged Mumsnet and Hunkers' blog!
I blamed a lack of support and a bottle feeding culture, in the previous generation, pg mums of my generation were often bottle fed so parents will say "well you were ff and you turned out ok" plus the difficulties of getting bfing established and that well meaning rellies will say "give baby a bottle" that sort of thing.
I don't think I came across as a bfing mafiosa...
