how do you say it?"
"It means 'the milk' in Spanish.
Just say 'la lay-chay'"


National Breastfeeding Awareness
Department of Health Breast Buddy Initiative
The Breast Buddy initiative, announced ahead of this year's NBA week, will be fronted by celebrity mum and Atomic Kitten member Jenny Frost. The initiative is aimed at encouraging young mums to get practical and emotional support, by nominating a buddy from within their circle of friends and family. The initiative is not intended to replace the advice of healthcare professionals or trained counsellors, but to help with the practicalities of breastfeeding such as getting a glass of water, entertaining siblings or providing emotional support if things get difficult. Young mothers can sign up to the Breast Buddy initiative by texting BUDDY to 60022. They will then receive an information pack including the Department of Health Breastfeeding Guide, fridge magnet featuring the new National Breastfeeding Helpline (0844 209 0920). Mother and buddy will also receive texts of encouragement for the first six months.
