The AmerAcadPeds is highlighting the barriers that make long-term breastfeeding so difficult.
that this research has been in the works for years and that it's completely unrelated to the shortage. That said, the timing only further highlights the need to improve the systematic and social support available for families. Dr. Meek emphasized that if there is to be a significant shift in breastfeeding practices, society will need to adapt, starting with paid leave, more support for breastfeeding in public, and support in the workplace.
The AAP also advocates for hospitals to implement maternity care practices that improve breastfeeding initiation, duration, and exclusivity. According to the Center for Disease Control's, comprehensive hospital practices and policies that support breastfeeding reduce medically unnecessary formula supplementation, reduce disparities in breastfeeding, and help give infants the best start in life.
"Not everyone can breastfeed or continue breastfeeding for as long as desired for various reasons," Dr. Meek says in AAP's statement."Families deserve nonjudgmental support, information and help to guide them in feeding their infant." Knowing when to wean your baby will depend on your child, your doctor, and you. Typically, if you're producing less milk than the baby requires, your doctor may ask you to supplement with formula. And once solid foods are introduced to your baby's palate, they may not be as keen on nursing anymore. Your work responsibilities may increase, and you may not have the time to pump or nurse as regularly anymore.
