It's a big responsibility being a parent. When you are in charge of your children's health and happiness, you sometimes worry whether you are doing the best for your child. How do you know what the best is? You probably didn't get lessons in parenting at school!

Best Beginnings is already developing resources to help expectant parents, people who already have children, and the parents of the future. You can read more about our projects on the site: you've probably already seen pictures from our 'Get Britain Breastfeeding' exhibition which is now on tour, and you might like to know that we're just finishing off a DVD all about real breastfeeding stories [From Bump to Breastfeeding: following real stories to find out how] which will be available for free to pregnant women from September.
