Breastfeeding News

November 10, 2009

Some tidbits from the news:

Actress Marley Shelton, of the show Eleventh Hour, talks about breastfeeding to The Celebrity Baby blog.

Bravado,the makers of some very comfy breastfeeding bras (I used them), has started a new breastfeeding resource called The Bravado Breastfeeding Information Council. There was a live webcast today of a breastfeeding discussion. You'll be able to access a re-cap shortly at this link.

And finally, The American Dietetic Association talks about the benefits of breastfeeding for both mom and baby:

It is the position of the American Dietetic Association that exclusive breastfeeding provides optimal nutrition and health protection for the first 6 months of life and breastfeeding with complementary foods from 6 months until at least 12 months of age is the ideal feeding pattern for infants. Breastfeeding is an important public health strategy for improving infant and child morbidity and mortality and improving maternal morbidity and helping to control health care costs.
