Coinciding with National Breastfeeding Week 2010, Haringey Primary Care Trust cut back on consultants for specialist breastfeeding support in the borough.
We, the undersigned, call upon Haringey PCT to acknowledge the value of having paid professionals for breastfeeding support to work alongside our volunteers. Money spent now to support mothers and babies to breastfeed successfully will mean less cost in the longer term, as breastfed babies and their mothers evidently have fewer health problems in the shorter and longer term and thus will require less NHS resources.

    • I wouldn't still be breastfeeding my 22 week old daughter after a traumatic start if it wasn't for the support I recieved, but I had to battle to get that support and now that support has been cut I know many women will be forced to give up breastfeeding.

    • Helping women to breastfeed and make informed decisions about how to feed their babies is a vital part of public health. It must be enouraged and supported through adequate funding.

    • cutting costs on support for breastfeeding mums will not work as effectively you will have to spend more money in the future on health problems of those mums &babies who didn't make it without help and had to stop breastfeeding :(

    • this is a terrible decision and surely unjustifiable - are there figures to show that they expect the birth rate to decrease?

    • A grave error as the health of future generations wil be jeopardized with the wrong cost cutting proposed.
