Women Breastfeeding
Surgeon general is launching an initiative to support breastfeeding
U.S. Surgeon General, Regina Benjamin, has published a Call for action to support breastfeeding in the last week of January 2011. Benjamin expects the initiative to educate the public about the many benefits of breastfeeding for mothers and infants and to generate support in the workplace care and home nursing mothers. The program will use public service announcements broadcast more than 1,000 U.S. television stations to educate the community benefits of breastfeeding.
Breastfeeding Statistics
Between 75 percent of mothers who initiate breastfeeding, only 43 percent continue to do so after six months and of these only 13 percent do not as a substitute for the formula and milk. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends exclusive breastfeeding for at least six months. Benjamin hopes the initiative increase the number of women who choose to breastfeed at first to 82 percent and the rate of those who breastfeed exclusively for six months by 25 percent. Pregnant women, trying to decide or not to breastfeed, talk to your OB / GYN physicians on the problems and concerns.
Place Work Support
Benjamin describes various methods to encourage women to breastfeed. Is expected to approve mandates employers need provide private spaces where mothers can pump breast milk during the day. Employers should apply elsewhere in the space such as bathrooms and employees must provide enough breaks to pump breast milk. Benjamin recommended that employers provide paid leave for new mothers and access to experts on breastfeeding through their benefit programs.
