- A Little Knowledge Is A Dangerous Thing February 21, 2011
  I’ve written before about how important it is to be careful whose advice you trust with regard to all things baby related and nowhere is that more important than with breastfeeding, where the experts range from the hugely experienced and (and this is the important bit) up-to-date and qualified, to those who seemingly simply have […]

Salma Hayek breastfeeds an African baby boy

Posted on February 10th, 2009 by admin

See footage here: Really lovely footage – she clearly loves breastfeeding and was very natural about it all. EDITED: the link has since been taken down, because it violated YouTube’s TOS. Hmm… Yet the one with “Uh-oh” as she begins to breastfeed the baby, that I posted on the comments, remains. How bizarre.

Kate Garraway is presenting a programme called Other People’s Milk on Channel 4 on September 9th. In it, she talks to women who have cross-nursed each other’s children and mothers who donate breastmilk.

Perhaps try getting your partner or a relative or friend to make the first call, in case you need to leave a message, since you may be emotional and it can be hard to key yourself up to ring for support, then get an answerphone message.
These lines are staffed by volunteers, often mothers of small children, so it’s not always possible for them to have a long conversation with you at the time you ring. But rest assured, they are very keen to help you (after all, they’ve spent a long time training to be breastfeeding counsellors) and if you leave a message, somebody will ring you back. You are not putting them out, you are not being a nuisance and they DO want to help you, so, please, if you need help, ring them.
