Right now, we’re in the midst of Breastfeeding Awareness Month, and the first week of August is World Breastfeeding Week. For more than 30 years, hundreds of countries have used this week to talk about breastfeeding and the challenges and obstacles some mothers and babies face. Breastfeeding may seem like the most natural thing in the world to some. But that doesn’t make it easy.
“Whether it is a restaurant, a bus, a pool setting, a school. Wherever you are, you can breastfeed. How you cover up is up to you,” she said.“The mother’s breastmilk is filled with immunologic goodies, with hormones, even with stem cells, and it is nutritionally perfect for a growing baby.” It helps moms too. Dr. Furman said breastfeeding will reduce a woman’s risk of breast cancer, ovarian cancer, and type 2 diabetes. She wants to see more women get help to make breastfeeding a success.
“Anyone who tells you that you can’t or that you’re somehow offending them,” she said, “Hey, they need to grow up.”
