BBC Radio Sheffield teams up with Woman’s Hour for breastfeeding specials

On Tuesday, new data from a poll jointly commissioned by BBC Radio Sheffield and Woman’s Hour will reveal women’s views about feeding and also investigate the factors affecting how women fed their babies, including public pressure and their mental health.

On Wednesday there will be a phone-in broadcast on both Radio Sheffield and Woman’s Hour from 10am. This will be jointly presented by Jane Garvey from Woman’s Hour and BBC Radio Sheffield’s Paulette Edwards.

Katrina Bunker, Editor of BBC Radio Sheffield, added: “Last year we forged a really successful relationship with Woman’s Hour when we worked together on a special week of programming around the menopause. We received a lot of positive feedback from listeners across the country so it’s great to link up with Radio 4 again to investigate issues around feeding your baby, another topic that can have huge impact on people’s lives.”

The two-day expo will return to Event City in Manchester on February 27th and 28th
