More Support Needed for Breastfeeding Mums

Press Release 26 July 2010

Thousands of New Zealand mums are not breastfeeding because they don't get enough help, according to the country's leading breastfeeding support group.

 

La Leche League New Zealand, a mother-to-mother support organisation, says more emphasis needs to be placed on helping mums breastfeed their babies after discharge from hospital.

"Our maternity services are getting better and better at implementing comprehensive breastfeeding policies, but more has to be done to encourage and help mothers when they get home.
