[ID] 257 [Interest Areas] Concerned Citizen [Comment] US pays so much emphazis on breastfeeding but only 4 weeks are paid for maternity leave. Working with breastfeeding is not a very convenient option for mother and child. This is the time when mother should bond with the child but to support child financially, mother takes tough decision to do away with the bonding and direct breastfeeding and goes to job. We all know that pumping is not as effective as direct breastfeeding. Even countries like India offer full year paid maternity leave, look at UK. INdia is going to 3 years of paid maternity leave. If we want healthy citizens in this country and children brought up with care and enough of mothers love we should look for options to provide full year maternity leave(paid). This will not only help with increased breastfeeding but child will get enough of mothers love and we will have well balanced children who r future of this country [Topic]
