To celebrate World Breastfeeding Week (1-7th August) we've put together tips, advice and real life stories from parents.
The theme of this year's week is Breastfeeding Support: Close to Mothers, which aims to raise awareness of the peer support available around the world, and highlight the importance of support networks and shared experiences to help mums establish and maintain breastfeeding.
