It's the natural way to feed a baby, but breastfeeding rates in Northern Ireland still remain the lowest in the UK, something that Breastival NI is determined to help change.
"As I started breastfeeding myself I realised not only what it was doing for him, he was teeny tiny when he was born and he was growing so well with me feeding him and it did so much for both of us, it just did us both so much good I continued until he was 18 months until I fell pregnant with my daughter and he naturally weaned."
"Because of my experiences and being able to be supported by the likes of Surestart in breastfeeding meant that I am now able to offer that support and highlight the importance of breastfeeding to more people," added Catherine. "It's everything from the pressures that are currently being faced with NHS to not seeing it out and about. A lot of people will say you can't do something until you see it so with breastfeeding comes with seeing it out and about and normalising breastfeeding is what is going to help us increase our numbers.
