Dear Knitters

Local health visitors would hugely appreciate your help in promoting breastfeeding in the area and help mums and babies having breastfeeding difficulties. If any of you have attended one of the local breastfeeding cafes, you may have seen the midwives and health visitors using a knitted breast to demonstrate good attachment, breast massage, hand expressing etc. If you've not seen one then a photo is attached.

We would love to be able to have enough available for each practitioner to carry one around with them on visits but there are no funds at present to buy them. I'm not a knitter myself but have been told that making them involves following a fairly simple pattern and can be a great way of using up spare odds and ends of wool as there are endless colour combinations.

So, if you are willing and able then please get in touch and spread the word around fellow knitters!

Many thanks

Sophie (Peckham & Dulwich HV Team)

  It’s already been scaled down by those who don’t want change for the last 15+ years

  It's about scale. London was a low rise city and the massive developments in the Elephant, Vauxhall Cross, the City and no doubt elsewhere have come from Livingstone's time as Mayor where he recognised that we need far more office space in London to compete on the world financial circuit, That said interesting that there is still massive investment in retail such as Battersea Power Station and Kings Cross at a time where more and more purchases are on line. As with everything there is probably an acceptable compromise and perhaps the project will be scaled down a little.
