 Why do we have such low rates of breastfeeding in the UK?
A new survey by the National Childbirth Trust has found that over half of people are unaware that the benefits of breastfeeding start from day one.
In today’s Woman’s Hour, Jenni speaks to Belinda Phipps, the Chief Executive of the National Childbirth Trust and Jennie Bristow, commissioning editor of the online publication Spiked, about why people choose bottle feeding and whether the pressure on new mums to breastfeed is counter-productive.
