Mums say more support is needed after they give birth, both for practical and emotional reasons.
"The support I was given in hospital was invaluable," she said.
"Having that support is important, not just for the practical support but the emotional support a mother needs after giving birth.

Welsh government figures showed a substantial decline in the number of mothers who continued to breastfeed six months after giving birth. "Hospitals have to reach certain breastfeeding standards and an important element of that is to educate mothers during pregnancy," she said. The Welsh government said: "Breastfeeding support continues to be prioritised by midwifery and health visiting services and health boards should consider each individual's circumstances when providing support.
