I cam across an article in Babytalk magazine<\/a>?\u00a2\u201a\u00c7\u00a8\u201a\u00c4\u00f9yes, the same one that has much of the United States in an uproar, or so the media<\/a> would have us believe?\u00a2\u201a\u00c7\u00a8\u201a\u00c4\u00f9and i found a couple of items interesting. I thought I’d post them here.<\/p>\n

A [USA] survey . . . published in The Journal of the American Dietetic Association found that 57 percent of those polled said that women should not have a right to breastfeed in public.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Only 10 percent of mothers who work full-time [still breastfeed] their baby at 6 months, according to a 2005 CDC report.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Journal of the American Dietetic Association’s survey found that only 47 percent of [employers] favored longer maternity leaves, and only 43 percent supported giving women a private room to pump in at work.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A mom should breastfeed her baby for at least the first year of life, as recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics.. . . In 2004 . . . about 70 percent of U.S. mothers reported that they had tried breastfeeding, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). That’s up from 55 percent in 1993. . . . At 6 months, only 36 percent were still nursing. At 12 months, the number dips to 17 percent<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
