National Breastfeeding Week: May 14 to 20

By Laura Lee Davies

Hey everyone -it's National Breastfeeding Awareness Week!

Obviously, if you are already breastfeeding, we don't expect you to put bunting round your bra or anything (!), but if you're expecting and you're still unsure about the whys and why-nots of breastfeeding or how you can prepare yourself for the months ahead, then check out our many breastfeeding-related articles via our Breastfeeding Central page. There you'll find links to all kinds of articles, from getting over cracked nipples, what bras to buy, and how to produce more milk, to overcoming producing too much milk, reviews of breast pumps and lots more!

To find about more about National Breastfeeding Awareness Week, visit the NHS Breastfeeding web page.
