Charlotte Church has enjoyed nursing her eight-month-old daughter Ruby Megan, and she’s encouraging other young moms to do the same. Recent statistics show only 42% of Welsh mothers under 20 attempt to breastfeed their babies, and 22-year-old Charlotte will work with Welsh government to try to reverse this trend.
“It was really reassuring knowing that Ruby had extra protection from chest, ear and stomach infections, as well as from diabetes and allergies,” she explained.
“On top of that, breastfeeding is free and really convenient - especially in the middle of the night! Feeding Ruby myself has been such a positive experience and I would definitely recommend to other mums that they try it.
“I don’t know why so few young mums choose to breastfeed, but I think there are a lot of myths out there. It’s important they hear from real mums like me and have all the information they need to make their minds up.”
I’ve got to say, those stats astound me. I know some women have problems breastfeeding, but to have more than half the young moms in Wales opting to bottle feed amazes me. I’m not sure whether celebrity endorsements will change these girls’ minds, but it can’t hurt!
