🤩 Happy National Breastfeeding Week! To mark the week our Project Specialist Jennifer Hanratty has published a piece in the Irish Examiner about our MaxBf project with University College Cork which aims to understand and improve support for #breastfeeding www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/comm...

Breastfeeding is tricky to talk about, but we must show support

New mothers don’t need your judgement on how they feed their babies, but if they do decide they want to breastfeed they need your support
