It’s a wrap: Doctor Who star Gillan gets warm reception at NHS awards event

DR WHO star Karen Gillan yesterday endorsed breastfeeding and said she planned to go down the natural route if she has children.

Gillan was presenting a Unicef Baby Friendly Award to NHS Highland staff at a ceremony in Inverness. The Inverness-born actress, who was presented with a tartan rug at the event, admitted she was a “guzzler” as an infant, adding: “I was enormous, nothing like I am now. It’s breast-feeding for me.”

Baby Friendly is a programme that aims to support, promote and encourage women to breastfeed while also ensuring that health professionals have the skills to provide the best education and support.
