Dr. Newman, I work in a Birth Care Center and have had 12 years of LDR experience. I agree with you, Hispanic women do well with breastfeeding. There is plenty of family support (mothers, sisters) as well as proud fathers. What I would like to find out is does this system also exist in the parent country? Recently had a 14 year old that breast feed she did good. The family (mother and sister) were her role models. We encouraged her to take the baby to the highschool nursery and get hall passes to go feed and share time with her baby, rather than going off campus to do this during school hours. I know the school she attends has parenting classes as well. It is now reading, writing and arithmatic for baby and mom. Would like to also see a SO in the picture but this isn't happening.
