There are six chapters, all covering key phases of breastfeeding. Just tap on the chapter you want and scroll down the index to find what you need. As simple as that!
This app has been written with a conversational style so it is more personal for the reader. It includes personal stories and photos from mothers throughout their breastfeeding journey, as well as links to other networks and organisations for further information.
