Breastfeeding is encouraged worldwide – it also has particular benefits for mothers in warzones. 

To speak about this and other interesting facets about breastfeeding is Dr Mariana Gutierrez Popoca. She is a Paediatrician with Médecins Sans Frontières and visited the Australian Breastfeeding Medicine Conference recently.
