According to the World Health Organization, exclusive breastfeeding is recommended for the first six months of life with solids being a complement to breastfeeding for up to two years or more.
Then why does less than 40% of the world’s population discontinue breastfeeding after 6 months?
This week, we’re taking the topic of breastfeeding and humanizing it in honor of World Breastfeeding Week. A few of our contributors have come together to share their stories in nursing.
Our goal isn’t to make you doubt the choices you’ve made or give rise to a cause. We’re just using this opportunity to have a candid conversation about a topic that plagues many moms. Over the next few days, you’ll hear a wide range of perspectives on breastfeeding, and we hope you’ll enjoy reading our contributors’ diverse experiences and advice!
Please remember . . . we welcome your comments and opinions; however, at Dallas Moms Blog we strive to be a welcoming and supportive community no matter what our views are on topics. We love having a conversation in our comments, but we do ask that it stay respectful!
