[ID] 556 [Interest Areas] Concerned Citizen [Comment] Most women in the US are woefully uneducated about breastfeeding. I find that many new moms know nothing about engorgement (they think that when engorgement ends, their supply has disappeared) or growth spurts (again, when baby starts cluster feeding, they think they have no milk.) We must find a way to create programs that will give moms the confidence to keep breastfeeding! It's very easy to look up, say, what a fever temperature is for an infant. It's less easy to find out whether your child is getting enough milk. Moms are supplementing because they don't know any better. And in our beautiful, well-educated nation, that is an embarrassment. Can we at least create an informational website where a mom can go in the middle of the night with info about engorgement, cluster feedings, latch issues and the like? [Topic]
