Breast feeding.

The film made for mothers-to-be discusses the value of even a short period of breast feeding, particularly with regards to the protection it can provide, the balanced nature of the ingredients of breast milk and its importance in ensuring healthy growth and development. There are some vox pops at the beginning with mothers explaining why they didn't breast feed. Nurses and mid-wives help new mothers to feed their babies. A link is made between over feeding and obesity in adults. Dr Valman is sympathetic to mothers who can't or decide not to breast feed; he does explain, however, the importance of bonding, how natural breast feeding is and plays down the perceived 'inconvenience'. There is a short intertitle with SMA (a supplier of formula milk) at the end.
