World Breastfeeding Week Day 5!
World Breastfeeding Week, Day 5 is all about lived experience: the voices of people actually navigating breastfeeding in Defence right now. Policies matter, training matters, support matters… but none of it means anything unless we listen to the people living it every day.
Hear From Maj Stott, Flt Lt Lawrence and Cpl Bex on their perspectives- thank you so much for sharing your stories!
