  • Title: Encouraging and supporting women through breast-feeding.
    Author: Battersby S.
    Journal: J Fam Health Care; 2010; 20(3):96-9. PubMed ID: 20695356.
    Abstract:
    The Department of Health and the World Health Organization recommend that mothers should exclusively breast-feed their infants for the first six months of their lives. Very few mothers in the UK achieve this, but with good support and encouragement from health professionals this could be attained. Health professionals, however, need to have knowledge of the process of breastfeeding and be able to adopt a problem-solving approach to the difficulties mothers encounter, in order to give appropriate evidence-based care.
