So we all know the numerous benefits for baby when they receive breastmilk, but do mums know that there are lifelong health benefits in it for them too?

Breastfeeding is not only good for children, but also for their mothers, providing more health benefits and preventing more maternal diseases than previously known, new research shows.

Here I am at work, answering questions for breastfeeding.ie at the friends of breastfeeding baby fair event last June. I often recommend baby wearing to mums for a variety of reasons. Its so helpful for issues like reflux or wind! The lovely Ina Doyle from bumptobeyond.com demonstrated how to put this lovely wrap on, it was lovely and honestly weightless, I'd highly recommend a consult with her if you are considering trying some slings for you little bundle. Getting the right fit and instructions is really important for comfort, safety and to avoid getting blocked ducts from tight straps.

If you've ever sent a question to www.breastfeeding.ie, this is the lovely Nicola who answers them! She was intrigued by the Robyn's Hip Carry, so I wrapped Max onto her in Wrapsody Kristen :) Nicola also runs Breastfeedinghelp in the Midlands.

Mums know what their baby needs 24/7.

Many moms feel guilty for nursing their baby to sleep. Nursing your baby to sleep is not a bad thing to do! It's very normal and developmentally appropriate for babies to nurse to sleep and to wake 1-3 times during the night for the first year or so. Some babies don't do this, but they are the excep…

Fair play Jamie, the importance of support for breastfeeding mothers needs to be addressed!

Jamie Oliver has endorsed the practice as a means to combat childhood obesity in Britain.
