[ID] 743 [Interest Areas] Community Organizer [Comment] Many health care providers are ignorant of the benefits of breastfeeding. I knew a nurse who tried to convince her daughter-in-law that breastfeeding was going to harm her child because she ate things like pizza and soda and these things would contaminate the milk and thus the baby. Now, we all know that pizza and soda are not the best things to eat, but the value of breast milk by far outweighs the value of formula even if the mother eats an occasional cheese burger. All health care professionals should have to attend mandatory conferences to educate them on the value of breastmilk. Also, it should be in the curriculum for upcoming health care professionals to learn in their training. [Topic]
