[ID] 562 [Interest Areas] Concerned Citizen Other Areas: Nursing Mother [Comment] In my dream world: - physicians would receive education and training in medical school on how breastfeeding works and hear from real moms who have done it; - women would not be given bags from forumla companies by their OBs or at the hospital; - formula would be available only by prescription and all the effort and energy of the doctors and nurses would be geared towards figuring out how to make breastfeeding work instead; - literature would frame the issue in terms of how formula harms babies instead of how breastmilk helps them; - all women who deliver would have access to lactation consultation more than once during their hospital stays and follow up via phone the weeks after delivery.
