“If breastfeeding did not already exist, someone who invented it today would deserve a dual Nobel Prize in medicine and economics.” Keith Hansen

Dr Wendy Jones MBE is a pharmacist with over 40 years’ experience supporting breastfeeding mothers. Who website www.breastfeeding-and-medication.co.uk is an awesome resource which includes an unbelievable amount of information for both clinicians, mothers, and families about drugs (yes – both prescribed and illicit!) and breastfeeding.

Why do I care about breastfeeding? Well, my wife Holly has breastfed both my little ones and now I really understand how important it can be for some mothers, but also how hard it can be when we are fighting against a society that does not value breastfeeding. Breastfeeding is so important to Holly that she joins me as a special guest on this episode!

This is an episode you won’t want to miss and I think you will find it really interesting whoever you are.
