August 1st marked the start of World Breastfeeding Week It's a big deal and is really recognized by the world. There is a video called The Breast Crawl that actually shows the newborn infants ability to crawl to the breast to nurse right after birth! Just amazing.
Part of the reason for world breastfeeding week is to pass along such vital information to mothers about the importance of breast feeding. Marsha Walker RN, has done extensive research on formula verses breastfeeding and you would be amazed at her findings. For example, did you know formula is 50 percent sugar? SUGAR!! Maybe that's why childhood diabetes is on the rise.
I could go on about this forever ( and I will all this week) so stay tuned for more information. Please check out the links I listed as well as My lactation consultants siteto familiarize yourself with the many benefits of breastfeeding.
