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.

Breastfeeding helps protect your baby against:

• ear, chest & urine infections
• gastro-intestinal infections
• childhood diabetes
• eczema & asthma
• obesity

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

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.

Breastfeeding aids mothers & baby bonding

• 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
