Mums can breastfeed everywhere in the Dudley borough. Whether it’s in the town centre, enjoying the sunshine in the park, waiting to pick up the little ones at the school gate, at the shops, or just simply waiting for a bus, breastfeeding is a completely natural thing to do.
Breastfeeding may also help the mother get her figure back faster, and protect the mother from premenopausal breast and ovarian cancers.
Breastfeeding is the healthiest way to feed your baby. If possible, giving your baby breast milk only is recommended for the first six months of your baby’s life.
After that, giving your baby breast milk alongside other food will continue to give them protection and help them to grow and develop.
Any amount of breastfeeding will have a positive effect. The longer you breastfeed, the longer the protection lasts, and the greater the benefits.
