In the past, American mothers were provided with poor information or even discouraged from breast feeding. Breastfeeding is very natural and is important to both the mothers’ and infants’ health.
“With this Call to Action, the Surgeon General seeks to make it possible for every mother who wishes to breastfeed to be able to do so by shifting how we as a nation think and talk about breastfeeding.” Read the Call to Action HERE. It provides statistics and national trends, federal policy, barriers, and a call to action for breastfeeding. Learn more HERE.
I agree. I am very happy that my current mom who has a 5 mo. old son, brings me 4 bottles of mom’s milk every day for the little guy. She pumps on the job and she’s a high school teacher. My daughter in law is a police officer and pumps on her breaks. Little Khloe is also 5 mo. and very healthy and not too fat.
