Helpful Hints: World Breastfeeding Week August 1st thru 7th
Fact: 40 out of 50 states (http://breastfeedinglaw.com/articles/lactation-and-the-law/) have not passed laws protecting a mother's right to breastfeed her baby in any location, public or private; where the mother is otherwise authorized to be; whether or not the mothers breast is covered during or incidental to the breastfeeding.
Tip: Attend a breastfeeding class during your third trimester and get a phone number of a health professional who is trained in breastfeeding management.
Benefit: Colostrum, mother's milk during the first 3 to 5 days postpartum, is baby's first immunization. (https://healthychildren.org/English/ages-stages/baby/breastfeeding/Pages/Breastfeeding-Benefits-Your-Babys-Immune-System.aspx)
Risk: Children who are not exclusively breastfeed for 6 months are 25% more likely to become obese. (http://www.infactcanada.ca/RisksofFormulaFeeding.pdf)
Myth: Some formulas are better than breast-milk because they have added vitamins.
