A Balanced Approach to Breastfeeding

Tomorrow marks the start of World Breastfeeding Week from 1-7 August. The conversation around breastfeeding has become so heated that there are two extreme views: breast is best, or fed is best. Consultant obstetrician and gynaecologist Dr Premitha Damodaran joins us to discuss how to adopt a more balanced approach to breastfeeding.
