It's important for us to be able evaluate and support breastfeeding mechanics and also understand why some women have low milk supply. So much of what we do is about assisting Moms in the present and also educating to prevent problems and change the future. This article resonated with me because we have much more of an awareness of nutrition, impact of obesity, and chemicals in the environment like BPA, PFOS etc.

A new study of more than 2,000 new mothers receiving support from WIC found that those who were exclusively breastfeeding at one month had significantly lower odds of elevated postpartum depression symptoms, and that was true regardless of whether or not they had planned to exclusively breastfeed.

The study also found that the majority of participants didn't meet their breastfeeding goals, underscoring just how much support matters.

Baby-Friendly designated facilities follow the Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding, an evidence-based framework shown to help families meet their feeding goals. Because when new parents get the support they need, the benefits extend well beyond feeding, to their emotional health and wellbeing too.

Breast milk is a living fluid containing germ-killing substances, healthy bacteria, antibodies, white blood cells, antimicrobials, and proteins that offer protection against bacteria and viruses.
The live bacteria in breast milk influences your baby’s gut health. Exclusive breastfeeding colonizes your baby’s gut with healthy bacteria that have lifelong benefits, like helping develop resilience against conditions such as diabetes, obesity and metabolic syndrome.
