THIS IS JUST A THOUGHT! (AND I DON'T BELIEVE IN MANDATORY BUT IF MOMS KNEW THE ADVANTAGES, THEY MIGHT CONSIDER BREASTFEEDING - AT LEAST FOR AWHILE) MOM AND BABY WILL BENEFIT.
IF ALL WIC RECIPIENTS THAT ARE HAVING NEWBORNS WOULD BREASTFEED FOR ONLY 12 WEEKS, WIC (WOMEN, INFANTS & CHILDREN-WHICH IS A GREAT PROGRAM) THE GOV'T WOULD SAVE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS - BECAUSE OF THE COST OF THE FORMULA AND THE HEALTH OF THE NEWBORN WOULD BE GREATLY IMPROVED, THESE BILLIONS IN SAVINGS WOULD INCLUDE THE COST OF RESPITORY INFECTIONS AND EAR INFECTIONS THAT THESE NEW BABIES HAVE BECAUSE THEY ARE MISSING THE GREAT GOD-GIVEN ADVANTAGE OF GREATER IMMUNITY AGAINST INFECTIONS. IF THEY BREASTFED LONGER, THE COST WOULD BE GREATLY INCREASED.
SID-SUDDEN INFANT DEATH IS MORE LIKELY WITH FORMULA BABIES VS. BREASTFED BABIES.
ALSO THERE ARE MANY LONG TERM HEALTH ADVANTAGES FOR MOMS ALSO.
DO THE RESEARCH AND YOU WILL FIND THAT BREASTFEEDING IS THE ANSWER TO A GOOD HEALTHY START FOR NEWBORNS.
THERE IS ALOT OF INFORMATION THAT YOU CAN FIND ABOUT BREASTFEEDING THRU A LOCAL BREASTFEEDING CONSULTANT OR THRU YOUR LOCAL WIC OFFICE.
