Tue 05 May 2009Survey aims to identify ways to increase breastfeeding rates
THE HSE IS asking young mothers to help identify what can be done to increase the rate of breastfeeding in the Republic, which has one of the lowest rates in Europe.
The HSE has commissioned researchers at the School of Nursing and Midwifery at University College Cork (UCC) to survey mothers with babies under the age of two about their experiences of, and attitudes to, infant feeding. The results will be used to recommend improvements to the breastfeeding support services.
