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. She talks to the Wellcome
Trust's Daniel Glaser about the intersection of scientific
evidence, opinion and policy.
This packed lunch event was recorded live
on 5 October 2011 at Wellcome Collection.
