Across the UK there are families of all backgrounds with one important thing in common: they all want to breastfeed their babies.

Breastfeeding is free, always on tap, and it gives babies the healthiest start in life.

Breastfeeding is good for you too: It can help you lose pregnancy weight and protect you against some cancers.

This two-minute film is the introduction to our DVD, which will show you how to get started – from bump to breastfeeding.
