That's the title of a small article in today's issue of Parade Magazine (an
insert in the Sunday newspaper).
Here's the article:
"Breast-feeding is tough for a lot of new mothers, just 33% still
exclusively breast-feed after six months . The U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services--aided by basketball great Michael Jordan's mother,
Deloris--is now offering help. They want mothers to know that breast-feeding
can help protect babies against cancer, ear infections, diabetes and
obesity. It also can lower cancer risks in mothers, help them lose weight
and save nearly $2000 a year in formula. For free materials or to consult a
breast-feeding expert (in English or Spanish), visit www.4woman.gov or call
1-800-994-9662 on weekdays."
There's also a black & white photo of an ethnic woman happily looking down
at her head-full-of-hair baby nursing. Her blouse is open and her breast is
revealed except that which is covered by the baby. The caption reads:
"A bottle may be easier, but this is healthier for baby and mom too."
