What the petition asks
To support those who want to breastfeed to be able to do so with honest education, trained lactation support after birth to establish breastfeeding and help solve any issues and ongoing support if they are left with the feelings of grief and trauma if their feeding journey doesn't go to plan.
The UK has some of the lowest breastfeeding rates in the world and there is such a lack of real support for the people who wish to try. We need real change to protect breastfeeding and support those who wish to try. It's about giving women who want to try the best chance and support in doing so.
