Many mums stop breastfeeding before they want to. You deserve the evidence-based information and support you need to make your own decisions about feeding your children.

You can find our support services here:
https://www.breastfeedingnetwork.org.uk/

A lot of people know that breastfeeding can reduce the chances of breast cancer, but did you know it can also reduce the chances of ovarian cancer too?

It's thought that this 'protective' effect may be because pregnancy and breastfeeding reduce how often you ovulate (release eggs).

To learn more about the risk factors involved with ovarian cancer, visit https://pulse.ly/kbegejikxc๐Ÿ”—๐Ÿ’™

Happy Earth Day! ๐ŸŒ

We believe that every mum and family deserves accessible support and evidence-based information to empower them to make their own decisions about how to feed their children.

Weโ€™re here for you, before your baby arrives and for as long as you need us afterwards.

Thank you to the mum who sent us this beautiful image during World Breastfeeding in Public Day 2024๐Ÿ’œ
