The federal government protects your right to
breastfeed on all federal property, because it knows how important
breastfeeding is for you and your children. Many states have additional laws to protect breastfeeding, and the WIC program encourages breastfeeding for optimal infant and child health, providing support and advice to WIC mothers. |
EBF6 for the health of your family

It's
beneficial to take time off from work to breastfeed your child, because you
will miss less time later (fewer illnesses down the line). AND with
breastfeeding you can save money - no expensive infant formulas, fewer visits
to the doctor, no need for bottles, and your periods are delayed (save a few
dollars on monthly hygiene products! And, if you use LAM, save some money on family planning.) |
