[ID] 515 [Interest Areas] Concerned Citizen Other Areas: mom [Comment] This is very important, but it should start with the OB's when you are pregnant. If more OB's spent a few minutes telling their patients about the benefits of breastfeeding & gave them information on how to get help later and where to take a class pre-birth it would make a big difference. I attended 2 or 3 La Leche League meetings while pregnant & our childbirth class had a 3 hour class on the subject. I know a lot of mom's who's OB told them it wasn't a big deal & breastfeeding didn't make that much of a difference. [Topic]
