The National Childbirth Trust reports that breastfeeding mothers are using its new
charity wristband to help them remember which side to feed their baby on next.
In
the past mothers have used nappy pins, ribbons and many other items to help them
remember which breast to offer to their baby next. NCT’s new lavender wristband 
has now joined that list of useful items, according to the charity and Lansinoh 
Laboratories, the makers of the band.

Rosemary Dodds, Policy Research Officer at the NCT, said: “We are delighted that
women have found another use for our wristbands… It only takes a few seconds to 
change the band from one wrist to the other and mums aren’t risking injury to themselves
or their baby as they might do with a pin.”

The wristband is sold for £1 via the NCT Sales website, with each band raising 70p
for the cahrity’s breastfeeding counsellor services.
