Breastfeeding in public should be acceptable because it is beneficial to the mother and child, it is not illegal, beneficial financially, emotionally, and health-wise. Therefore, it should be acceptable for women…
Breastfeeding mothers face many challenges when trying to exclusively breastfeed such easy access to formula, physical complications such as pain and lack of professional and peer support.

Public breastfeeding, when brought up, is often a controversial topic and many question if it should be legal to do so in public places. So let’s look at it this way, if a bottle fed infant can eat publicly, a breastfed infant should also have these same rights.

Research needs to be improved on these nurses in Canada, and we need more lactation consultant nursing in primary health care.

Physicians stopped recommending breastfeeding to mothers and at one point thought it was unnecessary. As a result, mothers chose formula over breastmilk. In recent years, the United States created goals for improving these statistics by 2020 (“Breastfeeding”). We are very close to achieving these on a national level.…
Family study as her major, but also as a mother who needs to learn a lot about human development in order to understand the development of her children in particular and later to be able to address her children’s questions and concerns about their growth and development in a proper manner with accurate facts rather than her own belief. In a particular project, by conducting an infant feeding observation, I am able to see the importance of the infant feeding in building a child’s secured…
