Veronika Robinson, editor of 'The Mother' magazine,  is giving a multimedia presentation at 3.30pm on Sunday June 1st at the Friends' Meeting House
6 Mount Street, City Centre, Manchester M2 5NS.

Entitled "Humanity's code for peace, passion and partnership", this talk presents a radically different approach as to how we nourish and nurture our children.

‘The Drinks Are On Me, Everything your mother never told you about breastfeeding' - reclaims and celebrates the ancient art of breastfeeding, a natural way of feeding our babies which has allowed humanity to exist for millions of years. In this talk, Veronika suggests that the rapid decline in breastfeeding rates is in direct proportion to the increase in physical, emotional and psycho-sexual dysfunction seen throughout western society. Our healthy existence as a species is dependent on full-term breastfeeding becoming the norm again.

Veronika Robinson draws on her rich experiences as a breastfeeding mother ~ a ten year journey which included five years of tandem nursing ~ and explains why breastfeeding is vital for the healthy continuation of the species. Embracing a holistic view, she shows how to overcome common, and not so common, breastfeeding challenges, whether they be physical, emotional or cultural.

This talk is equally suitable for new and experienced mothers and all professionals (doctors, midwives, dentists and health visitors) who influence a mother’s choice to breastfeed or not. Veronika deliberately takes a step outside the usual breastfeeding knowledge to present a new framework in which to view how we nourish and nurture our children.
