It’s #WorldBreastfeedingWeek!

Breastfeeding from the first hour of life, exclusively for six months and continued for two years or more, helps prevent illnesses, supports growth and boosts brain development.

So after seeing @lucyjohnson_NHS at the #mswconference yesterday I started the @NHSE_WTE Maternity Support Worker e-learning on ESR today. I didn't even know this was a thing and I have been doing this job for 13 years 🤣

Contacting your Maternity Unit to discuss any concerns you have is always a good idea.

You will never be a burden or waste someone's time - even if baby starts wriggling the instant you get to the hospital!

If in doubt - get checked out!
