[ID] 476 [Interest Areas] Community Organizer Concerned Citizen Health Care Provider Nonprofit Organization [Comment] I think that all the better-informed health care professionals, public service announcements, and community support will only go so far to increase breastfeeding rates. Until there is paid maternity leave and better government regulation to protect a nursing mothers' right to pump, breastfeeding rates will continue to stagnate while mothers have to work outside the home to support their families. If our government truly supports breastfeeding for at least a year and the preventive health benefits that arise from a child receiving breastmilk, then it needs to support a comprehensive paid maternity leave. The countries around the world with the highest and longest breastfeeding rates are those that enact policy to protect the right to breastfeed and offer paid maternity leave. [Topic]
