EPISODE 1 | Lucy Webber: Could fixing the UK’s breastfeeding problem reduce the number of breast cancer cases?

The first season of the B Well podcast kicks off with an insightful conversation between Breast Cancer UK CEO Thalie Martini and Lucy Webber IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant). Scientific studies have proven breastfeeding to be an effective tool to reduce breast cancer risk in mothers and children. However, the UK’s breastfeeding rates are amongst the lowest in the world, but why is that and what can be done to fix it?  

Lucy shares some of her top tips to help mothers breastfeed, busts some of the longstanding myths around breastfeeding, and more!
