Encouraging Breast-Feeding

Lewis A. Barness MD, Peter R. Dallman MD, Homer Anderson MD, Platon Jack Collipp MD, Buford L. Nichols Jr MD, W. Allan Walker MD, and Calvin W. Woodruff MD

Physicians, nurses, nursing personnel, and hospitals need to examine their practices and procedures that encourage or discourage breast-feeding. The cultural attitudes and life-styles of today's world tend to mitigate against breast-feeding. Yet, the benefits of breast-feeding to the neonate and the mother are so numerous that pediatricians must strongly encourage the practice.
