Infant Feeding Support: Supporting parents and training peer mentors in Barking and Dagenham.
In partnership with Mind, we’re working to support more new mothers with breastfeeding, in both the first six months and beyond.
The UK has one of the lowest breastfeeding rates in the world.
As few as 1% of new babies are fed exclusively on breast milk for their first six months.†
† As recommended by the World Health Organisation.
The health benefits of breastfeeding are many.
Research has shown that breastfed babies are better protected from infections and diarrhoea, have a lower mortality rate from SIDS and NEC, and are less likely to develop misaligned teeth. And these benefits continue into adulthood—research has shown breastfeeding is likely to lower rates of obesity and type 2 diabetes. There’s even some evidence of adults who were breastfed performing better in intelligence tests. The mother benefits too, with lower rates of breast and ovarian cancer and type 2 diabetes.
