Support Breastfeeding and Paid Family Leave
Breastfeeding can be hard enough for any new mama. Some of us produce too much milk, some too little, some of us get infections, or struggle to have our new little baby latch on well. Breastfeeding has been known to lessen obesity, allergies, and quoted from a guest poster on Non-Toxic Kids,
“Research shows that breast milk is best for a babys health and is perfectly suited to protect the baby from illnesses. Babies who are breast-fed are healthier and develop a stronger immune system, making them less prone to hospital admissions and problems such as diarrhea, allergies, and infections, which are more prone in babies who are bottle-fed.”
The benefits go beyond this, we know. Constant bonding and closeness with your baby promotes close relationships and connections. Of course this is possible for bottle fed babies too.
