And removing the barrier to breastfeeding that make many women decide that
they will not do it.
From George Kent
Women have the right to social, economic, health and other conditions that
are favourable for them to breastfeed. These conditions include:
a.. good prenatal care;
b.. basic information on child health and nutrition and the advantages of
breastfeeding and principles of good breastfeeding;
c.. protection from misinformation on infant feeding;
d.. family and community support in the practice of breastfeeding;
e.. maternity protection in the workplace;
f.. baby friendly health facilities.
Women have the right to protection from factors that can hinder or constrain
breastfeeding in accordance with:
a.. the International Code of Marketing of Breastmilk Substitutes and
related World Health Assembly resolutions; the Innocenti Declaration on the
Protection, Promotion and Support of Breastfeeding
I would add in that they have the right to information on the risks
associated with non-exclusive breastfeeding, early weaning and the use of
infant formula
