New Mothers Are Not Getting The Right Breastfeeding Advice, UK

New research has found that around half of the people who advise new mothers
on breastfeeding are not aware of current UK government and WHO guidance on
the duration of time that is most beneficial for babies to be exclusively
breastfed. These findings are to be presented at a three day conference,
running 25-27 June, examining nutrition and nurture in infancy and
childhood. The research has been carried out as part of the testing for
Coventry University Breastfeeding Assessment (CUBA), a new training package
for healthcare workers (midwives, health visitors, GPs, paediatricians etc)
who have contact with new mothers.
