DO YOU think that a Cavalier Daily column on breast milk would be
obscure or out of place in a collegiate newspaper? You aren't alone.
In fact, 100 percent of my editors thought so. But according to the
U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the average age for a
woman to have her first child in the United states is about 25 years
old. How many girls out there have already imagined their perfect
wedding day -- complete with guests, bridesmaids, dinner menus and, of
course, the dress? If the college years are an appropriate time to
plan a wedding, then it is most definitely early enough to plan for
both you and your child's health, and breast-feeding is an important
component of healthy babies and mothers.
Women who breast-feed their children in public often gain the
attention of scornful onlookers due to the social norms of our modern
culture. Breast-feeding, however, is a healthy method of nourishing
babies and should be promoted in most instances except where the
woman's milk lacks necessary vitamins and nutrients that are vital for
infant development. Regardless of social pressures, women should
investigate the numerous benefits that breast-feeding offers to
themselves and to their children.
