Publications




Providing useful advice on breastfeeding.

If you are considering breastfeeding there are a number of documents available that provide useful information. They include from when you first start to breastfeed to how you can continue to breastfeed when you return to work.

A newsletter published twice a year, 'Llaeth Mam' has been produced by the Welsh Government. It provides an opportunity to let you know what's happening with breastfeeding support and promotion across Wales.

Most of these documents are available in hard copy. To order, please contact breastfeeding@wales.gsi.gov.uk
