Charlotte Church and Why Breast is Best!

A big ‘Well Done’ to Charlotte for advocating and encouraging more young mothers to breastfeed their babies.

The 21 year old will join health experts at the Millenium Centre in Wales to give a speech encouraging young women to give their babies the best start in life by breastfeeding. This coincides with Breastfeeding Awareness Week (13-19th May) which will sees the biggest publicity drive yet!

Charlotte states ‘Feeding Ruby myself has been such a positve experience and I would definately recommend to other mums that they try it’ and I couldn’t agree more.  Health experts believe that young mothers are less likely to breastfeed because of social pressures, and a lack of understanding, and that is such a shame.

What kind of a society is this where mothers are frowned upon for giving their child the best form of nourishment? We need a cultural change, and with fabulous women like Charlotte doing what she can, lets hope we get it!
