[ID] 721 [Interest Areas] Concerned Citizen Health Care Provider [Comment] The U.S. ranks in the bottom of industrialized nations for maternity leave benefits. If women had paid maternity leave benefits, breastfeeding would be much easier because moms could take the time to stay home with their infants and establish this feeding option. Breastfeeding takes time and patience, and many new mothers feel the pressure of returning to work keeps them from having breastfeeding as an option. In addition, if fathers had some paternity leave benefits, this would further encourage and support mothers who are breastfeeding (especially in homes with more than one child). [Topic]
