Breastfeeding

In this section you can find out about the experience of breastfeeding by seeing and hearing people share their personal stories on film. Researchers travelled all around the UK to talk to 56 women and 2 men in their own homes. Seven new interviews were added in 2015. Find out what people said about issues such as sore nipples, feeding patterns, dealing with difficult times and introducing solid foods. We hope you find the information helpful and reassuring.
