[ID] 1120 [Interest Areas] Breastfeeding Coalition Representative Community Organizer Health Care Provider Lactation Professional [Comment] I believe we should make breastfeeding within the first hour of life a priority for every newborn. We should facilitate this by placing the newborn skin-to-skin with mother the first one to two hours of life. Hospitals should discontinue the receipt of free formula samples and make it necessary to get an order to supplement breastfed infants. A lactation professional should be readily available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for that new mom in order to get her through the most difficult first few weeks of breastfeeding. [Topic]
