Breast milk can provide all the nutrition a growing baby needs during the first six months of life. And research continues to show us how breast feeding greatly benefits the health of a baby & mother. But did you know, breast feeding is actually a learnt skill. AND despite us thinking breast feeding is simply a natural process of becoming a mum – what we actually need to breast feed successfully is great support, care, encouragement, patience and practice. So today we speak to Lactation consultant Bernie O’Regan to share with us her top tips on breast feeding.
