Hi ladies,

I'm currently completing my masters in journalism and my thesis is focused on breastfeeding. I am looking for some real life stories of women's experiences of breastfeeding - in particular the level of support/lack of support in Irish maternity hospitals and GP practices and also the difficulties surrounding returning to work after maternity leave and how this might result in a mother weaning her baby from breastfeeding sooner than she would have liked.

As I'm a new user, the powers that be won't let me post my email address but please feel free to PM me - any stories good or bad would be really welcome!
