Louise White sits in for Kaye Adams and asks if new mothers are put under too much pressure to breastfeed. Plus Name the Place and Ask the Vet.

New mothers need to be offered better support with breastfeeding, according to some of Scotland's leading experts in maternal and infant health. A statement, signed by 30 of them, said women can feel pressured to breastfeed and often find it difficult.
They have called for a change in culture to provide all women with the right support, at the right time, in the right place.
Are new mums being put under too much pressure to breastfeed?
