[ID] 221 [Interest Areas] Concerned Citizen Other Areas: Mrs. Lee County International 2009 [Comment] I feel that it is necessary for ALL areas of medicine from OB/GYN, Nurses, Hospital Staff, Pediatricians, etc. to have the SAME knowledge and training on the benefits of breastfeeding. I know that when I have talked to various doctors ranging from various degrees in medicine that the same knowledge is not consistent on breastfeeding. Most of them do support breastfeeding, but I feel that the sectors are not working together. It seems that the OB/GYNs are just concerned with the mother and her health for breastfeeding and that the pediatricians are just concerned with the babies and their health for breastfeeding. I just think that the gaps between need to come together in order for breastfeeding rates to increase and for mothers to get the appropriate care, education, and awareness needed for breastfeeding.
