Breastfeeding rates - a global problem

 In the UK more than ¾ of women who start breastfeeding stop by 6 weeks.
By 6 months only 1% exclusively breastfeed.
Similar trends are replicated internationally.
Extensive breastfeeding benefits to mother, baby, society and the environment include nutritional, immune system, developmental, psychological, social, economic, and environmental.

The barriers

Worldwide, the number one reason identified for premature weaning is fear of low supply.
​60% of women give fear of low supply as the main reason for discontinuing feeding sooner than planned.
The majority of women, even when provided with information about monitoring wet nappies, are not confident enough to recognise when their baby has gotten enough milk.

Baby scales - an imperfect technique

The only established method of measuring breastfeed is pre- and post-feed weighing.
​Despite widespread use, studies of scales usage show high levels of inaccuracy even in hospital environments.

The nipple shield

Used since the 1500s, early versions being made of silver, wood and animal skins!
Modern ultra-thin silicone shields transfer milk effectively, have high levels of maternal satisfaction, and allow baby to alternate easily between shield and breast.
Also used for a variety of problems such as sore nipples, prematurity, oversupply, and transitioning infants from the bottle to the breast. ​​
The shield is not seen when breastfeeding, enabling mothers and their babies to resemble any other nursing team.
