Benefits of breastfeeding ‘being oversold by the NHS” – Times Online.
For evidence of how deeply flawed this article is:
mothers who breastfed had a different outlook from those who did not and were more likely to follow advice on all health issues.
What, like the advice to give artificial milk as the panacea of all ills? The insistence on having your baby weighed every week? The suggestion that night-waking at 4 months means your baby is ready for solids? I’m sure there is probably some evidence out there showing that mums who have less exposure to health professionals are more likely to breastfeed for longer. Or even the other way round.
