Attitudes toward breastfeeding have changed dramatically over the last 100 years. From the early 1900s to about 1960, most doctors recommended bottle-feeding. With the availability of current research, attitudes have changed and now breast milk is considered the best choice for both mother and child.
You work in the education department of a hospital. Your boss asks you to create a brochure on the current thinking regarding breastfeeding. The brochure will be distributed to new mothers in the hospital.
What do you think a new mother should know about breastfeeding? Write an essay describing your recommendations for the contents of the brochure. Make sure you include short and long term effects of breastfeeding for both mother and child. Also include practical considerations about breastfeeding that would be helpful to new mothers.
