Dr Afif  EL-Khuffash  is a Consultant Neonatologist Paediatrician and lactation consultant at the Rotunda Hospital in Dublin, Ireland. He is also an accomplished artist. We discuss his career as  a neonatologist and his venture into painting. We also discuss the marathon sport that is breastfeeding and  how the women of Ireland need more support with their breastfeeding journeys. This was a beautiful conversation.
