Paul tells us why he thinks parents should breastfeed
Q. My baby is breastfeeding well but will not drink from a bottle, why is this?
Many families have found expressing breast milk the perfect solution to a mum going back to work, and being able to give your baby breast milk without the problem of always having to have the mum on hand. Your partner can express her breast milk so the baby still gets all the important antibodies, enzymes, hormones and nutrients, whilst you do the feeding.
The following pages will give you advice and guidance on how you can support your partner in expressing breast milk and below you can see the experiences of other Hull families who have chosen to express.
