Should single mothers be forced to go to work rather than stay on benefits?
A hospital struggling to afford fake breasts has come up with an unique solution - knitting them!The wooly boobs are being used to help new mums learn to breastfeed and express milk at Liverpool Women's hospital.
The model breasts health professionals usually use cost around £35 each, and the hospital needs about 50. Faced with a shortage of funds, Kate McFadden, the hospital's infant feeding co-ordinator and keen knitter came up with this solution.
The boobs are produced in a variety of skin shades, and Kate says, 'are vital to us and are a low-cost, simple teaching tool.'
