Show Notes
In recognition of Breastfeeding Awareness Week 2023, GOSHpods brings you a short series of podcasts looking at breastfeeding in a hospital setting.
For the first two episodes, we are joined by Lyndsey Hookway, lactation consultant, former paediatric nurse and author of Breastfeeding the Brave. We discuss the unique challenges faced by breastfeeding mums when their little ones are admitted to hospital, and look at what support healthcare staff can offer to help overcome these challenges.
Essential listening for all healthcare staff looking after babies and children!
