IN response to the article ‘Mums must breastfeed’ – yes, health wise, it is beneficial to the baby and, yes, it is the natural thing to do. However, not all mums can manage to do it, even with help.
A stressed mum is a stressed baby, so there is no ‘must’ about it.
Young Victoria may realise this as she gains more life experience. Meanwhile, mums should listen to their health visitor as all new mums are different.
