The biggest barrier to breastfeeding faced by women is the lack of real, practical solutions to the most common breastfeeding problems, such as nipple pain and low milk supply. This is because we don’t truly understand the underlying causes of these issues. With The MAMS Project, our aim is to uncover the physiological mechanisms that cause these common problems so we can prevent them arising, and resolve them when they do.

We need to raise £250,000 to fund this project, and we can’t do it without your help. Donations of all sizes will have an impact and can be made online, directly to our research fund at the University of Edinburgh; 100% of the money donated will go directly to the research fund.
