[ID] 17 [Interest Areas] Concerned Citizen [Comment] It's embarrassing that the United States is behind so many other industrialized countries in the world in this respect. Mothers should be paid for 3 months of maternity leave to establish breastfeeding. Research shows that the longer a woman takes maternity leave, the more likely she is to continue to breastfeed. This is easy to understand since it is far simpler to directly breastfeed a baby than it is to pump and then bottle feed the human milk. Paid maternity leave would give all mothers and infants a healthy head start towards establishing a strong breastfeeding relationship. [Topic]
