“ We know more about what's in a strawberry than what's in human milk.” - Dr. Shelley McGuire

Although human breast milk is the only food that evolved specifically for us, we still have much to learn about what’s in it. Two experts tell us about the latest research on this sophisticated substance. #WorldBreastfeedingWeek

This is NOT critical of those who feed their baby formula.

It’s the end of another #worldbreastfeedingweek and it always prompts a bit of reflection. I am so proud of being able to feed both my children. No 1 fed until nearly ten months, and No 2 is still going strong.

What a special morning we had in Larne Town Hall as we celebrated #WorldBreastfeedingWeek

Our mums made some beautiful keepsake boxes, we learned about Bach flower remedies and we took a minute to enjoy each other's company🌸 🖌️

We hope you all enjoyed it as much as we did 🥰
