Just three days into breastfeeding their new baby, 92% of mothers experience issues, be they latching, pain or concerns about milk supply.
But the benefits of breastfeeding could hardly be greater: it offers protection for babies from infection and disease, breast milk is almost constantly available, and breastfeeding helps form a deep emotional bond.
On-hand to help mothers in Lancashire is a new, free lactation consultant clinic run by the Lancashire Healthy Young People and Families Service every Tuesday at Ribbleton Neighbourhood Centre in Preston.
