New mother Simone McLeod (left) gets some tips for breastfeeding from consultant in obstetrics and gynaecology, Dr Donna-Marie Gray-Henry inside the new breastfeeding room at the Mandeville Regional Hospital last week. The occasion was the launch of the Southern Regional Health Authority Baby-friendly Hospital Initiative e-Learning Portal and the opening of the Breastfeeding Training Room at the Mandeville Regional Hospital. Dr Gray-Henry says breastmilk is the ideal food for babies, and that breastfeeding is the best investment in the long-term health of an infant.
