The pair discussed the difficulties associated with breastfeeding in Ireland, due to a lack of support and education. A recent survey by Bainne Beatha highlighted that 80% of mother's intend to breastfeed before they have their baby, while only 52% are breastfeeding when the baby is one month old. They highlighted the significance of support along with the support groups available locally, which can all be accessed via mychild.ie
