Description

For too many people, the first time they think about breastfeeding is when they are pregnant with their first child. If we are to change this, and normalise breastfeeding in our societies, we need to start with how we talk to children about breasts and babies. That’s why I’m delighted to be joined this week by Emma Rosen, a breastfeeding counsellor and secondary school teacher, to talk about what schools in the UK are doing now, and what we would like to see change in the curriculum.

Emma Rosen is @‌emmarosenbooks on Instagram.
You can find her books here https://www.emmarosenbooks.co.uk/


You can find my book for pre-teens and teens, The Breast Book, here: The Breast Book – Pinter & Martin
