Jane's Breastfeeding Resources is an information website dedicated to the promotion of breastfeeding.

We believe mothers all over the world should have access to informed choices when it comes to feeding their children & to that end we continue to gather that information so our visitors can be best placed to make those choices.

Hi!
Jane's Breastfeeding Resources is run by Jane, a mother of 3 breastfed children who is a Breastfeeding Supporter & Tutor with the Breastfeeding Network, a registered charity in the UK. She has been helping mothers to breastfeed for over 12 years.

Jane's husband, Garry, designed & runs the website.

Come & join us!
We have a Breastfeeding Discussion Forum. If you wish to post or join in the discussions, you will need to register with the Forums separately.

We are always looking for contributers to Jane's Breastfeeding Resources. We love to hear about your experiences of breastfeeding, if you'd like to share them with our visitors & can send us your thoughts, we'd love to hear from you. You can email us at admin@breastfeeding.co.uk or use our Contact Form.

Why Breastfeed 1

Breastfeeding is best for your baby - it's official!

  • The World Health Organisation says:
    "Breastfeeding is the best form of nutrition for infants. Exclusive breastfeeding is recommended for the first six months (26 weeks) of an infant's life as it provides all the nutrients a baby needs".
  • UNICEF estimate that 1.5 million babies worldwide die each each year because they are not breastfeed.

Why Breastfeed 2

Breastfeeding saves time & money!

  • Breastfeeding is free - in fact it saves you an estimated £450 across a year
  • Breastfeeding is always available & instantly at the right temperature
  • It’s estimated that the NHS spends at least £35million per year treating gastro-enteritis in bottle-fed babies in England

Why Breastfeed 3

Breastfeeding helps protect your baby against:

  • ear infections
  • gastro-intestinal infections
  • chest infections
  • urine infections
  • childhood diabetes
  • eczema & asthma
  • obesity
and helps protect you against ovarian cancer and breast cancer

Why Breastfeed 4

Breastfeeding helps mothers bond with their babies

  • Breastfeeding stimulates the release of the hormone oxytocin. This hormone stimulates uterine contractions & milk ejection and promotes the development of maternal behaviour & bonding between mother & baby
