The Australian government has just announced a change in policy that will reduce the amount of parental leave available to mothers. Of course this will have a negative impact on the ability of women to breastfeed their babies as well as the mental health of mothers. I've just had an article about this change published in The Conversation https://theconversation.com/parental-leave-cuts-undermine-breastfeeding-and-child-health-at-all-australians-expense-41617
Please share widely!
