In this special Healthcare Today with HSA episode marking World Breastfeeding Week (August 27), we are joined by HSA Midwives Isobel James and Rachel Peterkin-Smith, along with Community Dietitian Tamara Riley.
Together, they highlight the 2025 theme: “Prioritise Breastfeeding: Create Sustainable Support Systems” and explore the vital role breastfeeding plays in the health and well-being of both mothers and babies.
Our guests discuss the unique nutritional and immune benefits of breast milk, how breastfeeding supports mothers physically and emotionally, and the positive impact it has on sustainable healthcare.
They also share practical advice for overcoming common challenges, tips for working mothers, and details on local services and support available through HSA and community partners.
Whether you’re a new parent, expecting a child, or supporting a loved one, this episode offers essential insights on how we can all help build a culture of support for breastfeeding families.
