[ID] 145 [Interest Areas] Lactation Professional [Comment] Extensive and manditory training and teaching about breastfeeding should occur in any medical discipline where physicians and nurses come in contact with women during their childbearing years. The education that occurs currently for physicians in medical school is absolutely inadequate. Breastfeeding is a normal life process and bodily function and deserves every bit as much attention in medical schools and nursing schools as all other bodily functions/systems. Moreover, the study of breastmilk and all it's amazing components deserves equal study as other bodily fluids. Afterall, under a microscope breastmilk does more closely resemble blood than infant formula. [Topic]
