encourages mothers to breastfeed
their infants.
Breastfeeding is not only
beneficial to the infant, but also
to the mother, the community
and the environment, says
Sherree Smith, local contact.
According to a coaltion news
release:
-Breastfeeding gives infants the
most complete nutrition possible,
with nutrients and antibodies
necessary for babies to thrive.
Studies
have
shown
that
breastfed children have fewer
and less serious illnesses,
including reduced risk o f Sudden
Infant Death Syndrome and
fewer incidents o f childhood
cancer and diabetes
-Mothers who breastfeed are
healthier, enjoying decreased
risks o f breast and ovarian
cancer, anemia and osteoporosis,
and develop a close relationship
with their baby formed through
breastfeeding.
-Families who breastfeed save
money because they don’t have to
buy formula and the health
benefits o f breastfeeding provide
savings on health care costs and
related time lost to care for sick
children.
-Communities benefit from
breastfed babies, because less tax
money is required to provide

Families
who
breastfeed have more money
available to purchase goods and
services. Research also shows
that breastfeed babies have
higher IQs as well as better brain
and
n erv o u s
sy stem
development.
-Breastfeeding does not use the
tin, paper, plastic or energy
necessary
for
preparing,
packaging
and
transporting
artificial
baby
m ilks.
Breastfeeding cuts down on
pollution and garbage disposal
problems. In addition, according
to the coalition, research shows
that exclusive breastfeeding
naturally spaces pregnancies.
The coalition provides some
simple things to do to promote
breastfeeding in the community,
such as reacting positively and
encouraging
breastfeeding
mothers,
thanking
the
management o f restaurants,
stores and public facilities which
treat breastfeeding m others and
babies
with
respect;
and
checking to see if the place o f
worship, club, gym, library or
other facility is supportive o f
women who breastfeed and
provides a place for m others to
breastfeed their babies, among
other things.

Department, 676-5421.
