Nobody in Ireland has availed of this technology and I was extremely lucky to have a woman by the name of Christine O’ Mahony helping me to make the process much easier. It took months to get the format right but when she did my life ultimately changed.   (...) I know that there must be someone out there in the world who can do something like this to make life much easier. It would not just help me, but indeed others who are in similar situations. Life is about living and let’s face it Ladies, technology is not just a way of life, it’s a way of living!

  UN promotes ‘effective’ breastfeeding, aims to cut on breast-milk substitutes | | UN News

Jasarevic 4 August 2014 The United Nations children’s agency today said it is working with governments, the private sector and local communities to make it easier for women to breastfeed their infants, and to end false marketing of breast milk substitutes. (...) That means putting the child on breast milk an hour after birth and then exclusively breastfeeding for the first six months of life. “The infant should be receiving only the milk from his mother and not receiving anything else, whether it is water or any other liquids,” Mr. (...) “For example, some of them are in factories and don’t have maternity leave or if they have it, it’s so short that they do not have enough time to take care of the young baby and ensure that this young baby has a good start in life.” According to UNICEF and the UN World Health Organization ( WHO ), breastfeeding is the foundation of good nutrition, reducing the risk of malnourishment in early childhood and the risk of obesity later in life.
