[ID] 110 [Interest Areas] Concerned Citizen Other Areas: Birth doula [Comment] The maternity leave in the United States is incredibly stingy compared to most other countries. Many women are not even eligible for any, and even for those who are it is ridiculous to think of a mother leaving her 6 week baby in a daycare or with a nanny. The obligation to return to work so early can have a detrimental effect on the nursing relationship. A mother's milk supply is not even necessarily regulated by then. If you are truly seeking to improve the number and length of time women breastfeed for in this country it is vital that maternity leave be available and extended for all new mothers in order to allow a healthy breastfeeding relationship to be established.
