Supermodel Elle Macpherson challenged hospitals to do more to help women breastfeed successfully.
The Australian said it was “incredible” that there was not one hospital in London with a “baby friendly” award, given to hospitals which adhere to Unicef/WHO recognised best practice in the care of breastfeeding mothers and babies.
Ms Macpherson, Unicef’s “baby friendly ambassador”, made the point as she visited a women’s centre in east London.
