Packed Lunch: Breastfeeding

Wednesday 5 October 2011, 13.00-13.45


Feed your curiosity at our daytime discussions. Drop in to hear local scientists in conversation about their latest experiments, life in the lab and why science matters to everyone, all in the space of your lunch hour. Bring your sarnies with you to eat while you listen.

The Department of Health recommends exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life. But is this supported by the best available scientific evidence? Mary Fewtrell is a paediatrician at the UCL Institute of Child Health, who has spent her career investigating the links between infant nutrition and health, both short-term and in later life.  Join her in conversation about the intersection of scientific evidence, opinion and policy.   

Speaker: Mary Fewtrell, paediatrician at the UCL Institute of Child Health.
