For more information visit www.bounty.com Lifestyle/Parenting Support will be given to help all pregnant women across the UK with breastfeeding, with the availability of a new DVD. The free DVD entitled, 'From Bump to Breastfeeding - following real mothers' stories to find out how', gives positive and practical information to encourage mums to breastfeed and help increase breastfeeding rates across the UK. In 2005, 78 per cent of mothers began breastfeeding but a third of these women had stopped by six weeks. There are significant social inequalities in infant feeding practices in the UK; 76% of women start to breastfeed, but for mothers under 20 years old, the figure is just 51% and by 6 weeks, only 14% of mothers under 20 years old are giving their baby breast milk. The World Health Organisation ranks us 17th in Europe, behind countries like Turkey and Slovenia who all have higher rates. Best Beginnings, a child health charity, came up with the idea and the 35-minute film has been developed in collaboration with the Department of Health. Produced by award-winning filmmaker Jacqueline Smith, the documentary features nine women [including Theo Walcott's sister Holly] charting their expectations and concerns as they prepare for motherhood. The Department of Health recommends exclusive breastfeeding up to the age of six months, with continued breastfeeding, alongside other food and drink after six months. Breast milk gives babies all the nutrients they need for the first six months of life and helps protect them from infection and diseases, such as gastro-intestinal infections, ear infections, urine infections, eczema and obesity in later childhood. Dawn Primarolo, Public Health Minister, said: "The DVD will appeal to all women who are having a baby as it follows ordinary women on their breastfeeding journey and addresses hopes and concerns that are relevant to all. The DVD demonstrates breastfeeding as the normal and natural way to feed a baby and will support mums to continue to breastfeed and help them give their baby the best start in life." Best Beginnings founder & CEO Alison Baum said: "Only with accurate information and practical support can there be real choice for families about how to feed their babies. The DVD will enable more mothers across the UK to have the information and reach out for support so they can enjoy breastfeeding their babies for as long as they wish."

Decomposing food under seats, dirty pets sharing space with groceries, small children doing 'what small children do'. Unwittingly, we're turning the insides of our cars into breeding grounds for all kinds of unsavoury bacteria, and in some cases we're opening ourselves up to serious risk. In our video feature, Dr Anthony Hilton gets inside some of Britain's commonest types of cars and examines them in microbiological detail. He and his team at Aston University took samples from the areas inside our cars that are most often used or handled-steering wheels, gear sticks, rear seats-and subjected them to rigorous microscopic examination. What they found wasn't pretty; in one case even discovering traces of the E-coli virus. Cleaning the car might seem like a pain, but once you've witnessed Dr Hilton's fascinating exposé of its unwanted hidden passengers, you might well be inclined to think again about giving it a quick once over with an antibacterial wipe or two.

Decomposing food under seats, dirty pets sharing space with groceries, small children doing 'what small children do'. Unwittingly, we're turning the insides of our cars into breeding grounds for all kinds of unsavoury bacteria, and in some cases we're opening ourselves up to serious risk. In our video feature, Dr Anthony Hilton gets inside some of Britain's commonest types of cars and examines them in microbiological detail. He and his team at Aston University took samples from the areas inside our cars that are most often used or handled-steering wheels, gear sticks, rear seats-and subjected them to rigorous microscopic examination.

And while 95% of parents know that chips don't count towards 5 A DAY, over a third still think that a baked potato does. While 91% of parents know that fresh fruit and veg counts, and 78% are aware that frozen fruit and veg counts, 4 in 10 parents don't realise that canned fruit and veg counts too. It looks as though there's some clearing up to do on the 5 a day issue, and in this exciting new video celebrity mum Melinda Messenger offers parents the clarity they need.
