Hmmm . . . this is the same approach as the recent ad campaign, but in terms
that mothers can relate to. We hear about children with lead poisoning and
worry about our paint; we hear about second-hand smoke and consider our
habits.
Anyone know the stats for seatbelt/car seat use with children (to compare to
risk of not breastfeeding)?
Thanks for getting us thinking.
