Breast is still best for children (Sheffield Today)

THESE women know breast is best for their little ones as they joined together to celebrate National Breastfeeding Awareness Week.

Midwife Karen Harrison helps run the Breastmates breastfeeding cafe at First Start in Firth Park, Sheffield.
The cafe, which has been up and running for more than two years, offers help and support to expectant mums and mothers who are breastfeeding.
Karen, of Dronfield, said: "The cafe started with the hope of trying to increase the number of breastfeeding mothers in the area. We have found mothers breastfeed for longer if they have support."
The cafe - open on Monday from 10.30am to 12pm - is a free initiative funded by Sure Start.
"We feel the initiative has been very successful," added Karen.
