"A hospital needing a cheaper alternative to fake breasts has begun knitting its own."
"Kate McFadden, the hospital's infant feeding co-ordinator ... sourced the breast pattern from the Lactation Consultants' Association. "
Every day, the world gets a little stranger. The major strangeness here is that an NHS establishment is actually trying to
save
money.

At your NHS, we aren't looking for a handout.

Surprising though, how difficult it is for mother and child to get the hang of the whole thing first time round... you'd think it would be easier.
