Breastfeeding is something many women want to continue for longer however due to many factors women are not getting the journey they wish.
The support from a trained and experienced professional such as an IBCLC -lactation consultant, would provide expert skilled guidance to partners and families so that women can have the opportunity and support for the journey they wish π€±
We also need adequate paid parental leave, protected time to breastfeed after returning to work and investment in breastfeeding support programmes that truly make a difference to families, protecting parents from some of the formula marketing that undermines confidence. And allow women and families the space to make informed decisions π₯°
When we build a world that supports breastfeeding, we build a world that supports families. β€οΈ
