Very awesome news today from a new study that shows 75% of this country’s women are nursing their children. Most encouraging was the increased rates among African-American women, who traditionally have not nursed their babies.
The question I have that is not addressed by the study is for how long? Any breast milk is better than no milk, but we know that babies need their mama’s milk for a minimum of one year. Still, it is a start and reflects changes within the culture to encourage women to nurse.
