There have been calls for the HSE to reconsider cuts to breastfeeding support services in the Dublin South East region.
Dr Aoibhinn Ní Shúilleabháin, a lecturer in Mathematics and Education at UCD, has asked the health service to rethink its plans to remove the lactation consultant in the area.
Writing on Twitter yesterday, she said: "As if having a baby in a pandemic wasn’t difficult enough, [the HSE] want to cut the lactation consultant position in Dublin South East (and I imagine elsewhere if it’s the case here)! She has been invaluable to so many new mums in the area, both online and in person.
