July #infographic

Our Infant Feeding Team are celebrating World Breastfeeding Week by encouraging you to share a picture of your favourite place in the world to feed your baby.
There are 3 prizes to be won, 2 nappy cakes made up of size 1 and 2 nappies, and a pack of breastfeeding milestone cards kindly donated to us by Liquid Gold Mamas.
Names will be drawn from a hat and the winners picked at the end of World Breastfeeding Week. #FoundationForLife

In the run up to World Breastfeeding Week, why not tune in and watch the Dispatches documentary this evening (Channel 4 from 8-8.30pm) which is looking at why Britain has some of the lowest breastfeeding rates in the world.
"New mum Kate Quilton sets out to find out why Britain has some of the lowest breastfeeding rates in the world and whether more support is needed. She meets scientists at London's Imperial College who have measured the presence of hundreds of vital living components in breast milk that make it so much better for babies than formula, and also explores how cuts in public health funding have led to breastfeeding support services closing down. She also breastfeeds her baby in public to find out why mothers feel discouraged and shamed."

Would you like to help shape the future of the Maternity Services in Somerset?
Come and get involved at the Maternity Voices Partnership launch event on Friday 10th August (see poster for more details).

Babies cry for a reason, they do not cry to manipulate. The research is clear, responding to your baby will soothe and comfort them, this helps them to develop positive relationships and aids brain development. You cannot spoil a baby with love 💜💙💜
