Breastfeeding is essential for health, but breastfeeding families need support for this work! The US is failing to provide proper support, such as national paid family leave, adequate data, research, national health care coverage, and supportive laws. Meanwhile, there is ample data, research, and subsidies for formula and cow’s milk. This book, The Recipe for Breastfeeding Support in America, proposes a national plan for breastfeeding support. Erin O’Reilly is a La Leche League Leader and Lactation Consultant who has worked in hospitals, WIC, as a community volunteer, and Breastfeeding Coalitions; coaching parents through the tough work balancing the work of breastfeeding against an already delicate work/life balance. She has seen their struggles and heard their calls for support! This book was written to address the grievous lack of breastfeeding support in US policies, laws, employment, economics and health care.
