[ID] 148 [Interest Areas] Concerned Citizen [Comment] It has been my experience as a childcare provider to infants that the number one reason many moms give up breastfeeding before their child is 1 is that they are unable to pump at work as much as they need to in order to keep up their milk supply, which leads to formula supplementation which leads to even less milk production which leads to the end of the breastfeeding relationship. Moms need to be near their babies and breastfeeding in order to maintain the breastfeeding relationship, in my opinion. Feeding expresed milk and formula supplementation is a slippery slope for breastfeeding. Onsite childcare would help alleviate this problem, if and only if, mothers were able to breastfeed their child on deand throughout the day without penalty. [Topic]
