🚴‍♀️🏅 We were delighted to work with five-time Olympic cycling champion Dame Laura Kenny on a BBC Breakfast feature about breastfeeding support for parents.

We filmed with Laura at our Trafford LCO breastfeeding drop-in at the wonderful Sale Life Centre – a relaxed space for parents to meet, get advice, and share experiences. 🤱💬

Our fantastic Infant Feeding Coordinator, Rachael Vaughan, also spoke with Laura about the importance of support and appeared live on the BBC Breakfast sofa this morning! 📺✨

Find out more about the support we provide across and at www.traffordlco.org/breastfeeding-support (Trafford) and www.manchesterlco.org/infant-feeding-team (Manchester).

🎥 Watch the feature on BBC iPlayer (around 8.15am).

Liver disease usually has no symptoms in the early stages and around three quarters of people are currently diagnosed with advanced liver disease when it is too late for effective treatment or intervention.

90% of liver disease is preventable.
