Sir Edward: Breast Feeding is Best for Infants

Sir Edward Leigh

I met up with the excellent team from the Maternity & Neonatal Unit of United Lincolnshire Hospitals Trust and Better Births Lincolnshire.

They are encouraging breast feeding. At seven months, it's down to forty per cent nationally, but the health benefits are many.

All six of my children were breast-fed (not by me!), so I am very supportive.

We need more help for new mothers.
