  As a mother of three children, I chose breastfeeding as my topic of importance. For a child to receive all the nutrients needed breastfeeding is said to be the most safest and the best for an infant to receive. Your child receives better brain develop and fewer allergies due to the natural effect breastfeeding has. Breastfeeding also has a positive effect on a mother, by her losing weight due to eating properly for the infant and to allow all nutrients to be as pure and natural as possible.
  • I researched India and its effects of breastfeeding. In India mothers feed their communities sometimes with one nursing mother. These mothers will feed other children if needed due to the on going number of births in one community. There are mothers who have babies back to back and are not supplied with enough milk to fill their babies. These mothers do not pump they feed on demand, which at times does not give a mother the ability to rest or eat herself to assure the babies are given the best natural feeding available. I could never emagine this, but we have mothers in America who sell their milk on ebay to other mothers they are in need. I guess the saying, "It takes a village" is very true and much needed.
