Today's myth is... "Should I clean my nipples before a breastfeed?" No..Nipples produce a good bacteria that babies can smell, and this helps to build their immune system so you don't need to worry about washing before each feed!

Knitted breasts are a really useful tool which midwives use to demonstrate and support with breastfeeding. You can knit or crochet your own using this pattern from @LCGB1944. We'd love to see photos of your creations! Share them with us using #WorldBreastfeedingWeek

Myth: Its hard to wean a baby if you breastfeed for more than a year! There is no evidence to suggest it is more difficult to stop breastfeeding after 1 year, but there is evidence that breastfeeding up to 2 years is beneficial for both mothers and children.

Poem by stmd Cara Shotbolt: My eyes look down, I watch your cheeks, little nose and eyes gazing at me looking up you see Mama the being that shared herself so you could be… Here again we are sharing, not just food but comfort and love...

...The three things of life we seek mostly, over and above. My breast is my body, my milk made for you Why should I question if this is something we should do? We may have some glitches, hear “give the bottle a go” But together we will relax, master and enjoy our flow...
